A Lock That Needs a Key

Okay, so you are probably reading the title and saying to yourself “What can a lock have to do with home?” So, here I am teaching you why I chose that title. You see I chose that title because home is not just a building it’s a feeling. I’m sure you’ve heard that many times, but my writing is different because you see I try hard to include the people reading this (or my audience). So, now that you know why I chose that title, gather round and into the story we go. Oh, the story, the beautiful story of home. Now is there a place where you feel safe and courageous? Then this story is for you. Some people are rich and have mansions and giant pools but don’t be jealous because they might not live a happy life and they might not have a nice family, but you do, if you have the feeling of home in your heart then that’s what makes life special. That’s what makes home the best feeling of all, the warmest feeling of all and just a down-right happy feeling. Yah it’s a warm feeling, but you might need to recognize it and so here we go to teach you. Home is where you feel safe, where you can be yourself and where you and family and friends makes you enjoy a full life. That was my lessen and my wish for everyone is that they have that feeling. Thank you, Habitat for Humanity!
