What is the meaning of home?

A home is not a place with four walls and a roof, but it is a place to share love and kindness, as for me I have a safe place to stay which I call home. But for some people struggling with poverty or sadness like people whose homes are destroyed for example wildfires in Los Angeles, tornados, tsunami or wars. Home is also a place we share memories. Two years ago, I was in Nigeria, and I was about to move to Canada. I missed my home, and grandparents, and my home. My friends were sad, and it was hard moving to a completely different Country and a different continent. When I arrived in Canada, there was nobody I knew, so when I started school, nobody was familiar it was scary because I was a new student, but people were nice, and I made new friends. Now I when think of Canada, I see it as my second home. Me and my family help those in need, so join my friends, to help people in need because it is the right thing to do.
