What home means to me

Home to me is not just anything, it's a special thing. It's something that makes you feel good and respected, fun, welcoming, and where there are people that you like to be around. For me it's my home hill martock. I love martock. When I ski there I feel so free and I can do anything I want to do. With the wind blowing in my face I feel so FAST as fast as an F1 race car drive on steroids. I’m one of the fastest skiers in my group but I like having a bit of competition. Sometimes it can be cold here at Martock but when I'm skiing I try not to think about it at all. I know that this year is not going to be so cold because of climate change. It's always so much fun going skiing. But the best thing about skiing is all my friends who are there with me along the way. My friends are all there. They are always nice to me and Oscar always has CANDY that he shares with us. When we have races we cheer each other on and the coaches bring a Gigantic speaker and they blast their music at full volume. Everybody there is so welcoming to the new people who are just joining the club. The older kids there and the coaches there are so respected. All the younger kids there look up to them. Me and my friends always play a game on the chair lift that's called fallen skier. To Play the game you have to see a skier who has just fallen down and if you are the first one to see them fall then you get to punch the person on the other side of you. All of that is what home means to me.
