Why I Love Home!

Why I love home is simple. It’s where my family play’s Charades on Friday. It’s where I see my family on Christmas. It’s where my sister wakes me up. It’s where my family loves me! Once I read a book about a girl who didn’t have much. Then one day she wished she had a perfect family. That wish somehow came true! Then bit by bit she ended up back in her old life. She learned to not take things for granted. I learned that too. My family is not perfect. But they are perfect to me! Everyone should love what they have. Even if it’s not perfect. It is better than nothing. Don’t you agree? Here are some things that are better than having everything: having a roof over your head, a family that loves you and having friends that are lovely. That is better than all the money in the world. Anyone would agree to that. Right? Wrong. Some people are greedy and won’t do anything for the poor. They only want to be better and richer than other people. I hate that type of people. People should be nice and help other people. Do you agree? Me and my best friends think so. The kids in my class think so. The kids in my grade think so the kids in my school think so. We think so. So I think you now see why home is the best place to me! And with a bit of imagination it can be anything! You know at home everything is perfect! Amazingly perfect to me! Do you agree? Maybe. END
