To everyone present today, fresh from their beautiful sweet home, Good Morning. The famous line “Home sweet home” is a great indicator that there is no place like home, regardless of size, regardless of its location or how grandeus it is – but it is what you feel when your feet step in to its door. For me, a perfect home is a place where you collect memories with your family that you will be sharing with your future family. It is a place where you feel safe and comforted especially when you are at the lowest points. It is an incomparable abode where you sleep soundly after the stress in school or work that sucks your energy. How lucky we are who have this home we can come home anytime to shield ourselves from the coldness of the snow outside. For that, I realized how blessed we are because I can’t stop thinking of the homeless, especially the children. My heart is bleeding thinking that while we are sleeping comfortably in our soft bed with the heater on, some bend and curl their bodies trying to beat the coldest night of winter. This made me realize that we should be grateful to our diligent and hardworking parents for without them, we might as well end up in the street as our home. Ladies and gentlemen, we may have a different kind of home, but for me, my Home is the best because every time I set foot in our door, there I see my loving parents waiting with open arms for me and my siblings. That is why, I love saying Home Sweet Home! Thank you all so much.
