The Meaning of Home

To me, home isn’t a collection of things that I show my friends when they visit. Home is not the place that shows off all that is fancy and exquisite. Home is where memories are made, good or bad. It is where my families notice if I’m happy or sad. Homes are not made up of elegant furniture or TV’s. It is made up of a family who doesn’t show off but is free! Families that nestle inside homes can be big or small. You may have cousins some short and and some tall. Either way everyone in your family is an important piece in the meaning of home you see. Like a sandwich, with all the ingredients it is as yummy as it can be! Your home may hold many traditions like Diwali or Chinese New Year. In those traditions you may bake or hear music in your ear. Homes will have rules. Whether it’s make your bed or clean up the tools. To wrap up all of the above, your home is perfect the way it is!
