What is Home

Home for me is a place where I can show my emotions and not be judged. Home is a place where danger cant find you. Home could honestly be ANYWHERE! In a store, school garden park or even a house. For me I have FOUR homes! My first home is Iran. Even though a lot of REALLY BAD things have happened there, Iran is still a good home for me. This is because of the culture, the yummy food, and the places that you can visit. It is where I was born! I LOVE Iran as a home because ALL my relatives are there and I love my relatives, who are loving. However, I don’t know them too well anymore because I haven’t seen them in a long time. This is hard, because I may forget what they look like. But I know Iran is still home. My second home is Calgary. When I moved to CANADA, it was scary because I didn't know how to speak English. Calgary is where I learned how to speak fluently. It is where I lived in cold weather My third home is…KELOWNA! Kelowna is an awesome sunny place where I've made amazing friends and learned cool things. When I step outside on a sunny day, I feel the sun blazing into my eyes as I look at little kids playing on the playground. My FOURTH and last home is…MY SCHOOL! I've made so many good memories at my school and made so many good friends. The teachers are AWESOME and the staff are amazing too. All these places are home to me. What's your home?
