What Home Means To Me

Home is many things to many different people. You could think of it negatively or positively. There are many ways to describe home. Home could be anything, from a bus shelter to a mansion. In this essay, I will be writing about home and what it means to me. Firstly, I belong in my home because I feel accepted and celebrated. I can feel any emotion like sad or happy. Also, everyone fits in at home because it is a part of who you are. Some people don't have homes, but there is always one special place where you belong . Secondly, my home has so many memories, like the day I came to my home, when I was only a few weeks old. It is the place my siblings and I grew up. It is where I had my first birthday. It is also where I learned to run. Thirdly, I have a great relation with my home. Home is my quiet place. I can laugh and giggle and it doesn't care. I love my home. It's my perfect place. My home is my friend. It listens to me and talks back. It plays with me when I'm bored and cheers me up when I'm sad. No one can break my relation with my home. It's my perfect place I love . Additionally, my home is not a holy place like a Church, but I still can practice my faith there. I am a Canadian Buddhist. I worship the Buddha. I practice chants, offering foods, and other traditions in my home. Everyday, I say chants to the statue of the Buddha to worship him. Finally, I am valued in my home, but I also value the home because without it I wouldn't know who I am. I value the lessons in life, like learning how to walk. My house picked me up and let me walk on it. With my house's help I learned how to walk easily. As you can see in my essay, home is an emotional place filled with love, light, and of course memories. I love my home. It is a place of joy. Home is what made me who I am today. It took me step by step. I grew up there. I hope you enjoyed reading my essay and realized that home is not a structure, but a feeling. You should be grateful for your home because some people don't have a home and live in bus shelters or even on the street.
