Why I Adore My Home

Why I adore my home I adore and need my home because home is where I sleep, it's where I feel relaxed and at peace. At my home I see my silly sister, and I hear sizzling mouthwatering tacos being made. Where I adore tasting salty sunflower seeds, where I feel my comfy cozy, and silky robe. My life would be so different without my house and my parents' jobs. I would feel scared and I would probably smell without showers and would taste rotten food a lot but I probably could go to homeless shelters. That would be nice maybe I would have to sleep on hard concrete with garbage to keep me warm. Maybe I would have to wear dirty clothes for weeks and have to deal with annoying, maybe painful bugs that I would have to go to the hospital for, but what’s nice is that it's free in Canada. I would be bullied because I would still go to school to get a job, and on that, I may have to work at minimum wage jobs and be forced to not see my family much because they would have to work a lot to save up for food and maybe a house. I think Habitat For Humanity is very generous, because for one, each entry of ten dollars is given to homeless people, and no matter what there will be first place and runners up that will all get to donate to their home, and my favorite part of this is that they make it free. This Meaning of Home project has made me appreciate even more that I do have a house and that house is small but it has lots of wonderful stuff and people in it and that makes it my home.
