What is home?

Home can be many different things, not just the place where you eat and sleep (because you also eat at school). To me, home is a place where I can be alone, fit in and be comfortable. If I need to, I can have some time without being distracted. I also have comforts such as heat and electricity. Home is also on a climbing wall for me, because it is a less competitive sport that still requires some skill, which I enjoy. Many people don’t have much in their homes, especially things like electronic resources and heating. This could happen for many different reasons. They might be hurt if someone is bragging about all the "cool” things that others don’t have. I think that people should be more aware of the people who don’t have all the things that we have. Just because someone has more resources or comforts doesn’t mean they’re better than people with less of it. Especially when people are spoiled and pretend they’re better than others because of it. I think that some people are smarter or stronger than others without knowing it because they don’t have the courage to go against the person who is acting better than them, because maybe they have more electronics, books, or resources. But they might have more skill, or at least more potential, than the ones who are more “spoiled”. They don’t always like doing work because they think that their parents can help them and make them look better, or fix something like their report cards. No one is better or worse than others, they all have at least one strength.
