Home Sweet Home!

Most people when they think of home they think of games and food. But they don’t think of the important things, like family. My family is the most important thing ever. Never take things for granted, no matter what. Thinking of home you're thinking of all your games. But, when I think of home, I think of running home and playing games with my family. I value each piece of time I get with my family. Home is my world. I don’t just mean a house, I mean my city. Edmonton is my home, I feel happy here. I know this place by heart. The meaning of home is where you feel the safest, the place where you were born, where you met your friends. Where your life began and where it will end. Home is wherever my family is, whether it is here or all the way in Florida. The towns, stores, houses, neighborhoods and everything is what makes it something I just treasure. I love watching the beautiful places and staying up to see the moon rise and waking up early in the morning to see the sunrise! I love playing with the people I’ve grown up with since I was little. It’s not easy to find your place. But I managed to, somehow. My favorite place in Edmonton is definitely my house. It just makes me feel happy. Just thinking about what I love to do makes me smile to the point my cheeks could pop out! I am a very committed writer and dancer. Writing is one of my passions, so. As soon as I saw this I knew I had to do it, win or lose, I am proud of myself for giving my all. Someone more than myself would be looking at this, that’s all that matters. Moving on now! I enjoy reading the stories, it’s what makes home better than before, writing, reading all of it. It takes me to a place that is not this world. Kind of like a fantasy world where everything is real, the books I read, the people I write. All real! Then, I remember, this is life. Not daydreaming in class when the teacher is talking! Even though I do that practically every single chance I get, life is difficult. In my little imagination my world is easy, there all my friends and we have a blast. I know they're not real, but I just wish, and wish they could be real. I want it to be so bad, I know it can’t happen though. But hey! Nothing is impossible, I mean, humans are possible!
