Meaning of Home

Have you ever wondered how many homeless canadines are wondering around in the cold on the streets right now? Hi, I am Leighton Durant, and I am here to tell you what home means to me. Firstly, I think the most important thing about home is family, family is something that you can’t get rid of. It's such a loving thing to have always be grateful for. Like my mom, my dad and my sister. I love my mom for all her hard work and my dad for being so loving my sister for Bugging me all the time. Family is comforting, it's nice, its love, it’s one thing that most homeless people don’t have because they cannot afford. Secondly, memories' that is such an important stuff ever one has them even if there bad memory or a good memory the thing you well aways carry in your heart memory's don't have to be big don't have to be small its lovely not every you have is every good we look back at them cry laugh and feel embarrassed. Also, I think pictures they are so nice to look back on some are funny pictures when you were little maybe when you got your first tooth out maybe when you got to go so school for the first time i know lots of people hate taking them but it's to look back on maybe with a loving partner a roommate family or by yourself take time to look back on it find time and always take pictures of good times. You know if people's houses were on fire and people had to take one thing people might think oh, they would take their phone or their iPad, but not half of the people say they would take their family and friend photos. I think food and water, lot of homeless people do not have food and water imagine It being so hot and not having water to drink or one day you being so hungry for hours days and even months and you might think oh, just get a job to pay for food most homeless people don't have places to shower so the works might think they stink and also they don't have a address for the application and they don't have homes so no address and some people think that it's their fault that they are homeless but no it is because they get thrown out of there house at a young age but yes some do, do drugs and may end up in jail and there family does not support them. I hope my talk helped you, this is what... Home means to me. Thank you for listening have a great day.
