Meaning of Home

My name is Isabella Connell, and I am 11 years old. I have moved houses recently. In this essay I will talk about how Covid 19 affected my life. Moving recently and why I miss home sometimes. How did covid affect me? My parents decided me and my brother would take online classes shortly after covid started. I was in first grade and missed half of it due to covid. I was taking online classes for all of grade two and went back to school in third grade. Since my dad had to work from home, my mom wanted me and my brother out of the house so he could concentrate. This affected my sense of home because I never socialized in person with anybody my age, so all I knew of was home. When my mom got my brother and I out of the house, we went to the same place every time. Going back to school in third grade was tough, I was out of the house for an extra six hours in a loud environment, I couldn't wait to get back home. I have moved house recently. Until now my family lived in a nice, cozy, fun house. We have “upgraded” to a bigger house where I get my own room. A few months back our old house was a complete mess, all my stuff was packed, boxes were everywhere, and I was sleeping on the floor on a mattress. A few weeks after that I moved but still didn't unpack any of my stuff because I had a pretty busy schedule to keep. I didn’t really feel like I was at home, legally I had two, but none had my stuff, and one had my memories. I have unpacked most of my stuff, I still need to organize my new room, but I am in a much better position than I was two months ago. I am so happy that I feel at home now. Why do I miss home sometimes? As I stated, I feel at home now, it is nice to feel like I belong. I do miss my old house because I have moved four times three of those times, I was a baby/toddler. It was a nice cozy little house where I knew where everything was, I wasn’t always exhausted going up and down stairs just to get a singular item. I lived there for about eight ½ years. I’m still getting used to my new house but am excited to cherish the memories and fill the air with laughter. That sums up how Covid 19 affected my sense of home, my recent move, and why I miss my old house sometimes.
