THE MEANING OF HOME

I’m entering this contest so I could help build homes for other people that don’t have homes. I am also entering this contest for my class. Some of the things that make home special special for me are my pets, my bed, and the kindness that is shown to me at home. Bed is a place in your home where you should always be able to sleep. No one should have to sleep outside. Pets are animals that could sometimes make you feel safe like dogs, cats, birds, and any animal. Some depend on an animal like a dog. German shepherds are really protective. Any animal can protect you. Kindness is also what makes a home. For example, if you're homeless some people might actually give you money, which is an act of kindness. Kindness can also be when you're really nice to someone. Family is the most important people that mean the world to you like maybe your mom, dad, brother, sister, nan, or even grandpa. I know for sure I love my whole family. I appreciate everything they give and buy me. Education can be when maybe your parents/guardians get math cards and teach you math and maybe you get home schooled then you can get taught online. You can still do lots of things you can have art class, gym class, music class, and math class! Safety is really important when it comes to not having a house. Even with a house life can be really dangerous. So, without a house anything can happen. You could get kidnapped, get frostbite, lots of things can happen. Relaxation can sometimes be really good for your body and if you're feeling bored or hot in your house, go onto your bed and then spread your body to the sides and open the window. The nice airflow will go along with our body, you will be saying “ahhh”. But even sometimes if you're tired you could have to lay or sit down to have a break and relax. Thank you all for reading my essay about the meaning of home and what home means to me. I’m forward to be helping others So that people have somewhere to live, eat, and sleep. Even if I don't win there will still be homes built for who that does not have homes. Thank you all and have a great Rest of the day.
