The Meaning of Home

Home means to me that you have a pleasant family dinner, you have a cozy house, you have movie nights, it's all with my family. What does home mean to me it’s my family. To me I don't really care where I am. It’s just that I am not alone. Who am I going to tell my issues to? If I break something, who is going to fix it? Where am I going to get hand-me-down clothes from? I never want to be alone. One time my house flooded .fortunately, we were at my aunt's house. But also a bad thing. All my stuff were wet I thought I lost them forever. I felt empty. I found out they were dry. I was so thankful but we had to live in a hotel. It kind of felt like we were on vacation. The weird thing was I still had to go to school. When I went back home for me it did not feel different. It brought a smile to my face. All my stuff was there and I got to play with my toys. It is all my family There my safe place and my comfort. They made me feel safe in the hotel and they will always make me feel safe in my house.
