Home to Me

Home to me :] written : Emerson :] Once upon a time there was a girl. Her name was Karma. Karma was super popular at school. She had so many friends and she was so pretty. But she never cared about what people thought about her. Until one day when she was at recess, there were these three kids who were playing a game so she asked if she could play. One of the girls looked at her and shrugged and said no and the other two just walked away. All she did for the rest of the day was sit alone and pout. She was starting to feel kind of bad about herself. When she went home her parents asked her what was wrong and she just said she was tired. For the next few weeks the same three girls were mean to her. She kept on saying she was ‘tired’ to her parents and her parents knew something was wrong. Karma told them all about the girls and her parents made her feel happy and popular again so the next day she just ignored the three girls and they weren't mean to her anymore. Karma undied her hair and was herself again. Her family helped her through a hard time and that is what home is to me: a happy loving place where you can express yourself in any way. My family is my home. They are always there for me even if I d0 something wrong, they are always there to tell me I'm special or to make me feel loved and safe. Wherever my family and friends are, that's where my home is. It’s with the people who actually care about me. That's why my home is with all my friends and family. My home is safe always.
