The Meaning of Home

What home means to me is a comfy spot to lay or sit down and just relax, like my bedroom or even my couch. Home also means a place to be myself! When I feel bored I have lots of books to read any time I want to, unlike at school I only have certain times I can read. I feel safe in my home because it is an enclosed structure that is hard to get in. My stuff is all in my home like my books and toys. My family also lives in my home so that makes my home even more special and safe. Every time my parents leave late at night and I have to stay home alone my home feels more vulnerable and more like I would like to be somewhere else. My home is very special to me, for all of my things and my family are in it. That is the meaning of home to me.
