Meaning of Home

Home to me isn’t just a place with a roof and four walls it’s a place where loved ones reunite every night. Home can mean different things to people. Home can be a country. Home could be a neighborhood. Home could be a place of residence. The interesting thing about home is that it can change location. Even when home changes location it remains the same. Home is where you belong. When I was born, I lived in Ontario and my home where I lived my mom and dad. Shortly after my third birthday my parents sold are first home and we moved out to western Canada to a small town named Penticton. When moved out we at first, we at first did not have a residence as we were shopping for a place to live. I was still at home because I was where I belong with my parents. My house is my private sanitary where I can relax and feel safe. My house is what I call home. My house is in a neighborhood that is familiar to me. Many of my schoolmates live in the same neighborhood. Having my home in a neighborhood I know gives me a sense of community. Wiltse neighborhood is home to me. Every day my family separates and goes into the work to meet our obligations. I go to school and my parents go to work. After school and work, my family goes home. No matter where I am as long as I return to my family, I am home. Home to me is more than a place with a roof and four walls. It is a place where loved one reunite.
