Building a Home

HOME H:appy O:ptimistic M:emories E:nvironment “Home” Is just like a nest to me. The mother bird feeds me, the father bird protects me, the sister bird plays with me, and the grandma/grandpa birds share love over the phone. My school is also like my home. The teacher birds teach me. The friend birds LAUGH with me. As a toddler, I would draw pictures of homes with crayons, taking my time drawing squares, triangles, windows, and doors. Surrounded by trees, beautiful butterflies, and flowers. When I grew a little older, I started making homes out of building blocks. Later, I started designing them out of cardboard. On each of the homes I made, I would always include all of my family members within the design. Over the course of building, I learned a lot about family harmony and LOVE. There’s no place like “Home.” After a long day of school, home is the one place I really want to return to. Where my living lifestyle and memories enhance each day. My home is where my imagination expands and develops. It’s where my team spirit builds up and never comes down. It’s not how big the house is, it’s how happy the home is. There's always rules on the walls that we should follow. I LIVE a life of happiness in my “home.” In my province, Ontario, home affordability has grown more challenging for many people, such as immigrants, newcomers, international students, and refugees. We can help with this situation by donating house-hold items to the “Habitat for Humanity” foundation. Everyone has the right to have a quality home. I strongly support “Habitat for Humanity” to build better homes for families. I will always volunteer for the community “Never miss the opportunity to do good”-St. Francis de Sales
