What Home Means

Home to me is something special. It might be the biggest thing. I may have my own room that doesn't mean anything. I could share my room with my sister but even then that's not what home is! The thing that means the most to me is my family, myself and my dog. My family together can help my journey in life even when it might be hard. My home is the place that holds all the love and security I need to be my best self. For me, I know what it is to be able to help people in any way I can. This contest is not about the prizes, it's about me and my class being able to do something to help others find the security for their family that only a home can bring. I would rather do all I can for someone that doesn't have a home. Can you please help me with that? It might be the only thing I can do. I may have an electric dirt bike. I may have toys but I know that one day you're going to be someone else and I don't need them forever. I’d give them all away. If I can help someone by choosing to have less I’m happy. I hope that by writing this I am helping someone have the home they deserve.
