Home is Different for Everyone

Home means something different for everyone. For some it's cooking with their mom, for others it's building things with their dad. For me home is the place that stores memories but always has room for more. The most important part of home is family. My little sister: First is My little sister. She is a big part of my family because she keeps us alive and gives us energy. When I walk in the door I hear her music blasting as she scream sings the same song on repeat. We call her the “evil child” because when she was little she did a lot of bad things such as colour on the walls and tried to eat a Christmas tree ornament. Even with all her mischief we couldn't imagine our family without her. My older brother: My brother is like the last piece of the puzzle. My family wouldn't be complete without him. He creates the drama. We will never have a truce when he's home, But I still look up to him even if he doesn't always set the best example. Mom: My mom is the most understanding person in my family. She is the person in my family who always knows what's up and who is where. She is my everything. Without her I would lose my mind, she keeps me and my siblings in line. Dad: My dad is an outstanding cook: his fluffy scrambled eggs and crunchy bacon are fan favourites. One of my favourite things to do with him is to get ice cream. The cold ice cream is so refreshing. These are memories with my dad that I cherish. For me home is where I share memories with the people I love most.
