The Reasons Why My House Is Home

Did you know that house doesn't always mean home? Lots of people don’t live in a safe environment. That's why it's important to recognize that most people are very lucky to have all of the things that they need. The following reasons are what make my house a home: number one it’s a safe place, number two is that it’s filled with love and number three is my family. Here are the reasons how and why it’s safe. My family keeps me safe by being cautious, loving and kind. Next is because my house is sturdy and not falling apart. If it was falling apart it wouldn’t be safe and wouldn't be very home-like. Lastly, my house is deep in the woods so the trees make me feel protected and safe. If it was in a big city it would be overwhelming and scary to me. Here are the reasons how and why it’s filled with love. My home is full of love because my mom and dad love me. Some people don't have parents that love them. Secondly, my home has a loving environment and the only bickering I hear is when somebody has a disagreement. But that's ok because nobody is perfect. When my family disagrees they make up because they love each other. One final reason is if me or any of my friends go into my house sad from a bad day or something near that at least one person will try their best to make them feel loved. That is why love is important in my home. Here are the reasons why family is important in my home. First is how I can always look up to my family for love and support. In lots of families you can’t do that. Next, if I lived alone without family I would be lonely, sad and probably unsafe. That would not be home. Finally, if I ever get in trouble, feel scared or sad my family will always be there to back me up and help me get through it. Before I finish, you don’t need to have only one home let me explain. As an example, my house is safe and friendly but my house is not my only home. My camp is also my home because it is near my family and it’s very cozy.
