Meaning of My home

My home is special because we have something unique that other families don’t usually have. I have lots of people in my home and it is filled with knowledge because everyone is an expert! I am good at folding origami because I started folding origami when I was about 4. My dad is a math tutor for university students and also teaches me math. My grandma is a great chef who knows how to cook foods from different cultures. She makes delicious fish soup, rice, and noodles for me. My aunt cares about my feelings and also teaches me a lot of things including my homework, behaviors, and piano. Whenever someone encounters an issue, especially health problems, the other members in my family will be caring. When I was diagnosed with myopia last year, my family offered me a pair of corrective lenses for my glasses even though they’re expensive, so I’m blessed to be a part of this family. Home is a special “place” and “space” for me. The “place” is a central place from which to look at the world and learn something new. It’s a place to recharge my energy and organize the experiences and knowledge that I’ve learned in a day. For the “space”, we live in a society that is concerned with freedom and democracy, but part of that is to be independent and make a space for ourselves. My home is a space that is a good starting point to learn for independence and to do something that I am fond of. For example, my origami creations are sometimes uncommon. However, my family still shows their support and encourages me to try different things. In conclusion, my home is full of unconditional love, supportive and safe. Resource: Visionhealth
