Why Home is so Important

When I was 7, I had a house, but I did not have much food, and my dad passed away a year ago, and my mom never came out of her room. And me and my sister never went to school. Now I’m in grade 5, and I am living with my Mamie (she’s my grandma), Aunt Crystal, and my Grandpa Dave in a tiny home. However, home does not have to be big, it can be a tiny home, it’s where you live – it's where your soul lives. It’s not your friend’s house, it’s yours. Your room, your things, and it’s where you go to sleep at night. You might think it’s bad now but, if your life was like my old life, you would not like that so don’t like your home you should LOVE your home. The reason why is that you have a family who love you for who you are, so you should love that, not for me but for you. Because you can do great things, so do great things and help others, as well as kids and people who need you.
