A Home that shines

A home is not a pile of bricks stacked on top of each other. It’s a place to laugh and have fun! A place to make wonderful memories that shine in my mind as I recall it. A home isn’t made up of rocks towering over the ground. It’s made of happiness like when my mother makes her delicious desserts. My favourites are the Christmas-themed cupcakes! A home doesn’t contain four painted walls connected together with a pyramid on top. It contains friends and family being together all having fun. We celebrate Chinese New Year, lighting firecrackers in my backyard and eat traditional food. Some of the food we eat are rice balls and dumplings! My favourite activities to pass the time are reading on my comfortable couch and play board games with my family. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for helping families build new homes all over the world. We are all grateful for your assistance, so thank you Habitat for Humanity!
