What Home Means To Me?

Home is a place where I feel welcomed, I feel loved, and I feel comfortable. Home is the place where I can stay with family and people that love me. When I’m around them this makes me feel comfortable and safe. Everyone in our home treats each other right and shows love for one another. I live in a house WITH OVER 10 PEOPLE so I feel safe every single day they are around me. When staying around these people you will feel loved and safe. I love my family because when you feel like giving up, everyone in the house is there for you, encouraging you to get back up and keep pushing. I truly love them and always will. I cannot choose just one person from my home because they have all made a big impact on my life. My grandma, sisters, mom, dad, brothers, and dog Melody are a few of the most important people in my life .The first person I will be talking about is my grandma. My grandma does everything to make me feel safe, with the love she shows me and every one in our house and with all the sacrifices she’s made for us. The second person is my sister Ella. Ella buys me everything she can when I'm crying. When I’m upset she is there to comfort me and she even stood up for me when I USED TO GET BULLIED. She would walk up to the people bullying me and confront them which made me feel loved. The third person is my mom. My mom is the most loved person in my heart because she cares for all of us and works hard to afford everything for our family. Honestly, without her my family and I would not be here. The fourth person is my dad. He buys my siblings and I stuff and teaches us how to stand up for ourselves. The fifth person is my brother, Cruz. Cruz gives me life lessons and always remembers little details about all 10 people in the house, which shows how much he loves and cares about us. The last person is actually not a person but a pet, my dog Melody. She may have passed away but she is the whole reason I wanted to do this. That is because I know she would want me to write this and win it for her. Now, I have more courage than ever to keep pushing in every subject. When Melody was here she would make me feel extremely loved. Whenever I was crying she made me feel better. I will never forget when I was crying and she looked at me then walked up and jumped on my lap laying her head on me. Melody not being home was very tough and then our mom called us and told us to come to the vet to say our last goodbyes. It was heartbreaking. I know that Melody would be so proud of me if I win the contest or even if I lose she’d be happy that I tried. So what home means to me is a place where I am surrounded by the many people that make me feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
