The Meaning of Home to Me is Family

THE MEANING OF HOME TO ME IS FAMILY The meaning of home to me is a place of comfort, laughs, safety, and joy. It’s a place where I can talk about my feelings without being forced to or not to talk about them at all If I don't feel comfortable. I go to school every day, 5 times a week. It is nice to come to a home where I can unwind and be myself, where I can feel that I don't need to work hard or impress anyone. When it is warm in the winter or sunny in the summer where I know my brother, sister, and mom is waiting for me my family is waiting for me to come home safely I may say a lot of mean things to my brother and my sister I may say things that I will regret tomorrow but at the end of the day, I love them to death. In my life, I have done some seemingly unforgivable things. I have said things I wish I could take back to not only my friends but sadly my family but they always stuck by my side No matter what I said or what I did. I am the luckiest person in the world to have a family like this I cannot ask for anything better than waking up every day and knowing that They're by my side It's the best feeling ever even though sometimes I feel like I don't deserve them they always remind me that they love me and care for me and will do everything in their power to keep me safe no matter what. They make me feel safe in our home. My mom is the nicest person I know. She's full of joy, happiness, and love. She always tries to make everyone Around her happy. She always has a smile on her face no matter what, no matter if she's having a bad day or a good day she always has a smile on her face and I really admire her for that. She is somebody I really look up to and want to be like when I'm older, someone who's not afraid of the world, someone who is ready to try new things and explore new places. She's always there when I need her no matter what and I cannot ask for a better mom than that. My brother is the funniest person I know he tries to put a smile on my face when he knows I'm down. He's always laughing and always Has something funny to say. I love his sense of humor and his sense of fashion. He has a good personality and a great sense of humor. I'm extremely lucky to have him as my brother. He always encourages me to be the best I can be no matter what happens I will always love him, no matter what happens I will always be by his side and he will always be by my side. My sister is always somebody I can look up to when my mom isn't home. She's always been a good role model for me. She is smart and beautiful. With her Personality, I know that she will be something great one day and I hope she takes me along for the ride. Yes, sometimes I do get on her nerves and she does get on mine but no matter what I will always be there when she needs me and I know she'll be there when I need her, now and in the future. Because no matter what she is my one and only sister no one can replace her even if they tried. My dad is an uplifting and empowered person, someone who is ready to travel and go to new places. someone who is ready to dream and dream big. He loves food and Different cultures and cares for not only his family but also his friends. is ready to grab life by the horns and not waste a single moment of his life doing something that bores him Rather he does things that will Leave a memory in his head and excites him. He goes out of his way to encourage me in my studies. Also pushes me to not only be the best in my class but in my school. So I thank him for that. He is also a very Traditional person. My grandma is one of the best cooks. She brings the family together and I love that about her. One of my favorite foods that she makes is jollof rice. She lives in Africa with my Aunt and cousin. I hope they are all doing well and I get to see them again very soon. When I am older i hope i can be as mindful as my grandma i hope i can be as caring, hopeful, joyful loving, respectful, kind, and Honest as she is my Inspiration to be all these things and she will be my inspiration for as long as i live when i was little and my mom would go to work my grandma would take care of me. She Cared for me then and she still does now nothing has changed. My grandpa, I didn't know my that well but I heard a lot of good things about him from my mom like he built the house that my grandma lives in and he was a kind and Respected man. He was a timber merchant and a very social person wherever he went, lit up with happiness and joy. Even though I do not know him I can imagine what type of person he was for Raising such an amazing person like my mother. He was a successful man he was hopeful and Believed in God. He also loved Parties. He had lots of parties. I am really proud of him for all the good things I have heard about him. I really hope I met him when he was alive. There are so many people who make up home for me, people who make home Safe, happy, and joyful like my mom, dad, sister, brother, aunt, Cousin Grandma, and Grandpa. Some of These people I've already said but It's worth it to mention them again All the people that I wrote about in my own words are so much more than what I said about them what else about them Does not even come close to the personality close to who they really are in person, To be honest, I'm so thankful I have them in my life because without them I wouldn't know what to do without all of them I wouldn't know what to do the ones that have passed and the ones that are still living. So I think everyone deserves a home a place that makes them feel safe that makes them feel in Comfort that makes them feel great everyone deserves this not just only me but everyone in the world and it really hurts me that some people cannot have the things I have some people don't have the luxury of waking up in the morning and knowing that people who love them are right there people that care for them and will make sure that they are happy some people don't have that.
