Home in different places

A house is a home in a way you need a house for a home, your home inhabits your house. Home is where you can sleep at night and can always feel safe even if you are in a new home. Take that from me, I have moved a great distance from my old home, a whole country in fact. And when I arrived, I felt lost. I did not know the way around my new home but still I knew I was safe. I then moved again from that house to one not too far away and I have been here for at least two years now. Now enough about me, I author this essay to give ten dollars to a great organization bent on giving worthy people a home. Because I know there are people out there whose living conditions are not the best with mold and no insulation at night, I want these people to live happy lives. I know writing this cannot change a person’s life entirely, but I hope to be a role model to inspire people to do the same because home matters. Now if you have two houses for many varied reasons (summer home winter home etc...) both are a home, or one is a home. No matter how many you have or how small your home is if you feel warm and safe it is your home ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Home is a place of love and respect where you feel welcome and happy. Home can be bigger than a house, it can be your road, your town, your province, even the world if you feel welcome in all those areas. In conclusion home is a place home is your family so home can be anywhere
