A Place Where the Light Shines the Most

Home is where our story begins. Where I see my little brother after school eating a little snack. I smell my mom's fresh delicious salads with her famous meatballs. We all sit around our wonderful table with all the food and eat, laugh, and joke. A delightful home is where you always feel like you belong no matter what. Home is a place where bricks are more than a wall but a place where memories are made. Where we celebrate holidays all together and dance, sing and play charades. My mom and dad ask me to empty the dishwasher after a long night of partying and eating snacks. Home is where I sleep calmly in peace in my soft and gentle bed. Home is any four walls that enclose the right people. It is a part that fills your heart forever. A home can be anywhere only if you have loved ones around you. It is a shelter from storms and all sorts of storms. The sun at home warms better than the sun anywhere else. It is a place where you make mistakes and learn from them. It is a place where you grow up wanting to leave and grow old wanting to get back to. Thank you, Habitat for Humanity, for providing people with safe homes.
