What Home is to me!

Home to me is not just rooms windows and doors. It's a warm, cozy place that I get to come home to at the end of each school day. It's where I can always be myself and rest. Home is where my family and I can create happy and sad memories. It's where I sit on the couch by the fireplace waiting for the kettle to start screaming so that my dad can make my mom and me some Earl Grey tea. With some soft sour dough bread! home is where I come to the kitchen and see my grandma making kapusnak, a Slavic/Ukrainian soup, that I ADORE. Homemade soup is the best. It's where I can always cook and bake and after just plopping on my bed where I have some of my stuffed animals and my two fuzzy blankets! Home to me is when I wake up every morning and look out my window and see the gorgeous breathtaking sunrise that's a mix of red, orange, pink and yellow. I see Bella, the neighbor hood dog, that always follows me to my bus stop and sits there waiting for me to give her some of my cream cheese and jam toast that I'm having for breakfast! Most importantly, home to me is a place where I can calm down from a hard or busy day. It's a place where I can put on comfy clothes, turn on my speakers and dance around with my friends or sisters! home is when after a day of speaking English I come home and can speak my language Ukrainian! Home is a place of Love, a place you can share emotions. That's what home is to me! And everyone deserve to have one.
