What is special about my home?

My home is special because it is fun, safe and I live in a nice neighbourhood. I am Yusuf and I am 9 years old. I live with my mom, Ruqayya, my dad, Husayn, and my two younger brothers, Zakariya, and Isa. My home is fun because we have a pool table and a foosball table. I play with Zakariya and my dad. We have an indoor pool, so my family can go swimming in winter. We have a big backyard with a play set. I feel safe when my parents are around. We have an alarm in my house and we know everybody that lives in the neighbourhood. We live in a good neighbourhood. We know our neighbours and they are kind. There is a nice park nearby where me and my family go tobogganing. These are the reasons why my home is special to me. At school we were reading an article about Charmaine and Melody. Charmaine and Melody didn't have a home because they didn't have enough money. So they got a Habitat for Humanity home. I am glad my family can afford a home.
