What does home mean to you?

A Home isn't just a place to live. A home is where people connect, bond, laugh, enjoy good times, and even cry. Every living thing has a home of its own. A home can have different meanings for each one of us. A home may look different to each one of us. But some homes can be similar, like moles and some species of ants. Moles live underground, and some species of ants make a small mountain that leads underground. Even though these animals both live underground, home means something different to both of them. Ants build chambers underground to store their food, eggs, and sleep. At the same time, moles make their home safely underground where nothing can harm them. Like the moles and ants, our home may look similar, but it holds a different meaning to you and me. My home gives me a sense of security, protecting me from any form of danger. A place that brings me love, joy, and happiness. My home is my school. It's where I learn new things daily. It's where I evolve and grow. What I call my home today may not be my home a year from now, as we can change home over time. But to me, my home will always be where my family is. A place where I can be my authentic self and share my biggest dreams and goals with the people I love. My family!
