What is Home

A house is just a place and the people and things inside make it a home, a home is somewhere you can feel how you want to feel. Houses are just buildings, walls with a roof, you could call a house many things but a home, I can think of the word that it means most, love. When I get home from school I just think that having a house is just a normal thing and that basically everyone has one, but when I drive around and I look out my window, I see all of these tents and people on the side of the road asking for money and that is when I noticed that I am really lucky to go home every day and have a roof over my head and have a bed to lay in and that lots of people wish they had that. I think that everyone should be able to have a roof over their head because everybody should be able to have a place that they can call home. I have seen only one but there are probably more, there are these hotels that are for people who don't have money or don't have much money. I know that I can't change this but I wish that there were more places like that for people who aren't as lucky and have to live in tents. I hope that eventually everyone will have a place to call home.
