My Beautiful Home

Home is not just a house with four walls,a door and a roof for me; it is a magical place filled with love and happiness. My favourite spot is the backyard garden, a beautiful smell of flowers, vegetables, and towering trees planted by my grandfather during his childhood. This inspires me to take up gardening. In the evenings, when I sit with my grandparents in the garden, they tell me stories that encourage me to embrace kindness, truthfulness, and commitment. I am proud to have an elder brother because I enjoy playing with him in the evenings at the neighborhood playground. He always takes care of me, guides me, and motivates me while we play. My brother is my role model. When I am studying, he becomes a teacher; when I am playing, he becomes a coach; when I am sad, he becomes a magician; and when I am confused, he becomes a guide. At every step, he helps me choose the right path, which is why he is so special to me. Last but not least are my parents. With my parents, I feel safe, cherished, and supported. They anticipate my needs, plan everything well, celebrate each of my victories as their own, and encourage me at every step, building my confidence. My parents are also my heroes. My home is a blissful home because every family member shows me love, affection, and care. I am thankful for Habitat for humanity for building such a safe and good shelter for people who don't have it. By Charitha
