Home

Home is not just a house, apartment, or a room. Home is a place where you feel cherished and fulfilled. Home is where your heart belongs, filled of happiness. It is a gathering place for loved ones and family, relatives to gather. In my home, I always feel safe; It serves as my base. It’s a secure and comfortable place where I could always reach out to someone, to talk things out. A place where I consistently find safety and happiness. I am always grateful for my home. Home could change, for example, my parents, my sister and I moved from China to Canada one year ago. It was an adjustment to a new life. Almost everything was new: the language, the school and the place we lived. We faced many challenges, but we always overcame them together. The most crucial aspect is that home is where my family is. Home gave me the courage to face these challenges. As long as my family is together, home won’t change for me. Although we moved to Canada, my relatives are in China. They still love me and support me, so we still have a home in China - my grandparents’ home. China is my home and Canada is also my home. Home is like a melody, you can play it on the piano, recorder, or flute. Regardless of the instrument played, the HOME melody flowing through this piece is love. Home is a place, but not only a place. It doesn’t matter if it a small condo or a fancy house, as long as we love and support others, this place could be called home.
