My Inspiring Home

My house is a wonderful place. A place me and my family call home. I am so grateful to have a family to come home each day. Together we eat my favorite food called jollof, a rice that’s kind of spicy, but I love it and so does my brother. In my home, I also love eating McDonald’s while watching movies. I love catching butterflies too! I like to have pillow fights with my family. When I hit my brother, we laugh. I do say sorry, and he always says it’s okay. My parents work hard to buy food and drinks. My mom spends the whole day cleaning and cooking. She has lots of work, she says no to help, but I help her anyways so that we can spend time together. I’m so grateful to have a mom like her. At my house I feel good, loved, and happy. When I’m bored, I sit on my brother and watch YouTube on my phone and then my brother gives me piggyback rides. In my room I sing so loud that my mom comes to tell me to be quite, and I listen. I can do all these things in my great home where I am safe. Home is not just a roof and walls, home is a special place where I belong. My home is not just a home, it is a place where I’m from. It’s good to have a home, a home that you love, a home where you can be you. That’s the story of my lovely, beautiful home.
