Have you ever thought to yourself what is the meaning of home…

If there is just a house with nobody in it just you all alone would you really call it a home? It's just walls, a ceiling and a floor. In my opinion what would really make that house a home would be the love in it. Now think about a school gym, is it really a gym without sweaty people in it? It's like a house with no love. A wall, ceiling and a floor. what makes a house a home is the people in it, I fight with my siblings, but we still love each other even if we don't show it it's somewhere deep down there.me and my sister can't stand being in the same room, but on others she helps me with my homework and braids my hair, there's a never ending list of what she does for me. Take this for example, when I was in the 4th grade I tried out for basketball and didn't make it, when my older sister saw that I was sad, she baked brownies with me and told me to try out next year. As you can see I have gotten onto the topic of family, which in my opinion is what makes a house a home. Imagine you living in the basement of a stranger you have never even spoken to before. I think the meaning of a house is just a temporary place, but the meaning of home is a permanent place.in my home everywhere I go I feel loved My home is a non judgmental place where I can do the things I love without worrying about what others think of me
