What Does Home Mean?

What does “home” mean ? To me home is very special. When I moved from my hometown, i left all my family and friends behind I was pretty sad but at least i had my family. I was in grade 6 in Nigeria (where I used to live) but I had to go back to grade 4 and I Don't regret it. I met amazing people; I was home with my family. For those who may not know what I mean by home because I was at school or something but you are thinking about the other home. The home you are thinking about is the typical 4 walls, a roof, a door and windows but a home can be a warm feeling, a person or a pet. A home is a place where you can be yourself without getting judged, where you have your own opinions, where people listen to you, where people acknowledge you and care for you. It doesn't matter where you are because home is always in your heart. I am home and I love my home. Salmah O.
