I’M HOME WHEN…

The meaning of home isn’t something you can buy at Costco or a thing you can order, the meaning of home is much more. For me the first time I felt at home was when I was a baby. I felt at home then because I knew I was loved and safe. For me home isn't the house or the four walls, it doesn't even have to be a building because for me it's the feeling you get when you walk in, when you go there for the first time or it might even be when you see someone you love. That’s really what home means to me, the people and the feeling. Recently hundreds of people lost not only their houses but some of them lost their homes. I am very lucky that that didn’t happen to me. Home means a lot of different things for a lot of different people and that's amazing. The different times and places people go to find a home is so amazing and I can’t even put it into words how important a home is. Whether I win or not, I’m just happy that someone gets a home.
