Roofs over Heads

A home is more than a house. I am going to tell you the reasons why I think a home is more than just a house. Everyone deserves a place to call home. Pets, family and safety are very important parts of my home. Habitat for Humanity is a great organization that helps build homes for people in need. Families can have pets, make memories and feel safe in their new homes. Pets are loving, cuddly and a great support when you are sad. Pets can cheer you up, put a smile on your face and get you to play ball with them, especially when you need something to keep your mind busy. “Woof Woof”, sometimes they bark a lot and sometimes they snore really loudly. This is why I think pets are a great part of my home. Why is family important to me? Family is very important to everyone. Having a family means alot to me. Being around people in your family makes you feel loved and safe. The more you hang out with your family, the safer you will feel. Family is also awesome because you get gifts for your birthdays, Easter and Christmas. When you are feeling sad they can give you hugs and kisses. When my family goes on vacation, it’s fun but coming back home to a house is a relief. This is why I think family is important to me. People may ask why does a home make you feel safe? Well, it is a safe place because you have your family to protect you and it is nice and cozy with your family. You can make good memories like playing outside and going swimming and if you have a pool and you can feel more safe doing that stuff with friends and family in your own space. It’s always a good feeling when you feel safe in your own home. Your family is there to protect you from getting hurt and from doing stuff you shouldn’t do. I know when I’m with my family, I feel safe and I would like other kids to feel safe in their own home. I am so lucky to have a family, pets and of course the safe place to live. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for putting roofs over heads everyday, so that other families can make memories, have pets and feel safe in a home. Connor Vancott
