What is home to me?

To me home is everything. When I'm at home I’m as happy as can be living and laughing with my family. My home is my zone where I learn to roam. It's the place where I am never alone. My home is the place that I love the most, where I sit at the table and enjoy my toast. Home is where I feel loved, it's where I beg my parents to buy me a dove. Home is where I can be free revealing my full identity. I love my home and so I go on. My home is where my family is, where my cat would meow for food and where my fish would swim with joy. It's where my land snails play and fight and it's where my water snail lives the life. When I go home I smell my mom’s delicious cooking and I hear my dad talking or walking. I see the memories we made on the wall and seeing them just tells it all. The best parts of my home are the ones in it. They always support me and cheer me on. My room is where I sleep at night and where I would hide from a fright. My home is much more than I can describe. Home is everything to me wouldn't you agree? My home is and always will be the place I run to when I'm down and where I would remove my sad frown. To me a home is where the heart is and the heart is with my family. My home is not just a house of which I sleep and eat in but it's a beautiful place that carries every part of me. I call it home. Thank you to Habitat for Humanity for this amazing chance and for helping our community.
