The Meaning of Home

A home is a place where you are loved. A place where you can come back to. Where you make fun, happy memories. Some homes are big. Some homes are small. Many people can’t afford a home. A home doesn't have to be a place with walls and a roof. If people can come back to whatever their home is and make memories there, it is a home. Animals have homes too. Spiders have webs. Bears have caves. Habitat for Humanity makes homes for people that are homeless. A home is like a vault for memories of all kinds: sad, happy, excited. Even if you move homes, your memories will follow you. Even when you pass away your kids will inherit or see the memories you made. You can develop a strong bond with your memories, by making more. I think that everyone deserves a home. Memories can remind you of how many things you take for granted. How many things people don’t have. How many people are out on the streets with nowhere to go. So the point is, memories can remind you of how many people are out there struggling to find food and a home. To help this you can give to poor people who can’t afford a house or food. A home will always remind you of the good deeds you did. A house will never remind you of any good things. But you don’t need a house with things to feel good. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for building homes for people and taking care of the people that are homeless.
