What Home Means to Me

A house and a home are very different. A house is just a building where someone lives, just a material thing. A home is so much more! Maybe it’s where you took your first steps and spoke your first words. Maybe it’s only a place you moved to three months ago but the people that matter to you are there. Sometimes you have more than one home, like me. Maybe you have a home in your house and a home in someone else’s house - I have a home in my grandparents house - or a public building like your school or library, but no matter what, a home should always be a place where you feel loved and safe A house is always a building, but sometimes a home isn’t. There are thousands of people on the streets who don’t have a house, but they still have a home in the people they love, and at the end of the day that’s what maters.
