The Meaning of Home

Did you know that the first building was built 9000 years ago. My house is important to me because everyone that lives in my house. I love everyone and makes me feel welcome and loved.I think everyone deserts a home because I think it’s unfair to some people to have to live outside. Because they can’t afford a home. A house becomes a home by your loved ones and you're surrounded by your family. That's why everyone should have a home. A house is just a building, but there are things that make it turn into a home. My family makes a building into a house by the weekly board games we play, the dinner we make all together. The pictures on the wall all mean something to us because we can look back at the pictures and remember when we went places. I have a stuffed animal and it means something to me because I got it when I was born and nothing is missing because I took good care of it. My home is so important to me because of my pets, my neighbourhood and my family. My cats make me feel at home because when I was at my old house I only had my dog. When I moved I got 2 cats and one more dog. So now in my new house I feel like I belong there with more animals. My neighborhood is important to me because I have my friends but I have a chance to take a walk or go shoot hoops. My family, My family is important to me because I feel more safe then just talking to a therapist because I don't know these people why would I trust this random human I think everyone deserves a home because like I said you don't wanna be outside in the winter when it’s cold outside and snowy it’s not fair. When the prices went up I feel like more houses went up for sale because people can not afford it. Plus I feel bad that they just can’t do it anymore because of the prices. It's not fair at all A home is such a good place by being loved by your loved ones. Also a house is a home by cats, dogs, and all sorts of animals that make you feel at home and safe. A house is a home by your bed that you sleep on everyday with your couch also. I believe that everyone should have a home by your pictures on your wall.
