To me home is...

To me home is the place where everyone’s face is shining with happiness and my heart feels warm. Home is more than a place, it’s a haven where sadness can be but soon reversed. It’s a place where everyone is welcome and there is no discrimination and everyone is symphonized. When I stay away from it too long I get homesick and I wanna go back. It’s where my heart resides and my family is beside me at all times. Home is where my necessities are met, my food is put on my plate to keep me up and put on nutrition. And the water is gushing through the pipes to let me drink, shower, wash my hands and flush toilets. The electricity lights up the home and brings a guide for us and lets us communicate with the outside world. My parents work to keep all of this going, and when I'm home they’re home to take care of me and my sister. They give me screen time to give me a chance to communicate with my friends that live too far to see often. I would honestly hate to not have these things for life. It would be a struggle everyday to chug along everyday with only nickels and dimes. Homelessness is a problem that needs to be fulfilled soon. And I'm so glad I can have a place to call home.
