Home is a place where I know I'm always safe. I lived in a duplex for ten years. I knew I was safe because there were alot of friendly people on my street that knew me and I had friends on my street too. My friends on my street are Locklyn and Grayson. They were really good friends, we would always play together and if anyone would come to bully or pick on us we would have each other's back. I have five people in my family, Me, my mom,my dad,my brother and my uncle. When I'm with them I feel safe and comfortable. Honestly I'm grateful for everything I have like good wealth and food and clean drinking water.Im also grateful for being able to go to this wonderful school with very nice teachers, friends and a good environment. When I go to soccer I’m always pumped up to play and have a good time with my teammates.soccer is a thing I'm crazy about. I follow soccer and play and give it my all no matter what is in my way. I push through anything and just love the game. Family to me also means the memories I have had.One time we went to India for my cousin's wedding it was so fun we danced and sang and had lots of fun.The best part of the wedding in my opinion was the delicious food and the sweet cold ice cream. As a kid I always loved food that was from home. Not saying I don't like food from restaurants but back then I really liked food that was made fresh from my home. I smell the spicy curry, I feel the warm rice, I hear the sizzling onions and see the smoke from the frying pan. I taste the wonderful food hot and soft in my mouth. It tastes like home. I have a family here and in India. but to me family is something that I am grateful for having and a roof to sleep under and food and a loving family.
