What Home Means To Me (A Story About Wanting To End Homelessness)

I feel horrible for the homeless ones. It makes me feel angry at the people who have a home. The homeless ones shouldn’t do their business in trees, bushes. They need a toilet for themself. 115M of the people on earth are homeless. I wish that percentage would lower to 0 people. What home means to me is a place to be with your family, a place where you rest, a place to do your business, a place where everything everywhere feels safe. Home is where the heart is. A famous saying said by many people. But it goes for 7.888B of the people on Earth with a house. With a home. That saying makes me feel like the person who wrote that saying hates homeless people. I feel like they want the homeless people to stand up and walk out of Earth. I’m the exact opposite of that. I’m not homeless but I feel bad for the ones who are. I feel horrible, sad, disappointed, awful. I bet the homeless ones live in bushes, hiding their identity, hiding from the ones with homes, hiding their identity as a homeless one. The homeless are commonly poor. If you see a homeless one it would be nice enough to give them $1 or more. The 115M homeless ones probably hate their life, wishing it was better. Giving a homeless person money will make their life happier. A home to me is where a non-homeless person lives for most of their life, eating, drinking, sleeping, etc. They do that for a lot of their life. WE MUST MAKE THE 115 MILLION PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS HAVE A BETTER LIFE BY GIVING THEM MONEY OR BETTER, A HOUSE!!! Homelessness. A horrible thing occurring on the planet Earth. People without enough money for a house, people who didn’t pay their mortgage, children who were forced to leave their house because of an assassination or murder of their parents and so on. WE MUST END HOMELESSNESS!!! Home means to me a place to be with family and have friends visit, a place to rest my head, a place to be alive, a place to roam freely. Home. An amazing place. Home. A place where some people live. Home. A place where memories are made. Homelessness. A horrible thing on earth. Nobody likes it. Most people on earth wish the homeless ones had a home. Thank you for your time. By: Dylan E Rm 2 Brock Corydon School
