What home means to me

Home is where I’m comfortable. Home is where I’m me. A house has four walls and a roof but home has the five senses-see, hear, touch, taste and smell. When I see my parents, I feel at home. When I hear my fish tank bubbling, I feel at home. When I touch my dog, I feel at home. When I taste my mom's spaghetti, I feel at home. When I smell candles, I feel at home. A house is what you buy but a home you keep building. Home is where you can be you. Home has things that are important to you. A house is what you live in. A home has people and pets. When I'm at school, I feel at home. I see people everyday and it feels like I'm at home. When I'm at home I feel happy and I feel all kinds of emotions. Home is where I'm me and I'm a million times better. To me, a classroom feels like home. When I'm at home it feels like a warm blanket is wrapping around me. I like being at home because it makes me feel like me. When I'm at other places I feel like me but it just doesn't feel the same. I love my home because when I'm at home it feels like everything that is bad just goes away. When you get home from school you can say I'm home. When I'm at school it feels kind of the same but not really because it just feels good to be home . Where I’m me and nothing can change that.
