What is the meaning of home to me and you? You might think that home is a place for you to live and do daily things like working and playing. Well, if you ask me I would say that home is where you have privacy. You can express your own feelings without being embarrassed . A home can be a place where trust is built, or where you spread kindness around. A home is where you live with your family and share memories, but not everyone has a home.76 As home is where you live, then what is house. A house is a building that is made of bricks or wood with furniture and windows. But this structure is also where someone lives. Dive into your memories of how you used home and house. Maybe you were on a long drive and you were coming home, you might have asked your mom are we home yet. In other times you might have asked your friends if you can go to their house.158 When you are home you feel safe and warm during storms, but did you ever wonder where the homeless lived? As you can see, not everyone gets to live somewhere safe and warm. Some live in tight, squalid places just so they can’t sleep on the cold grass and have some protection from animals. Imagine that you are living in these conditions, would you like to live in those dirty places? No, of course not, you wouldn’t like it there, but some have to in order to survive.246 What about having kids, which is hard since the parents have to try to give them schooling and space to learn. But what matters is they have a good life as they try to earn money. Home is a special place to live and that is why we should be thankful to have a place to live. In conclusion, having a home is very grateful since your are safe and have privacy. There is a difference in house and home, very different. You could expect love and kindness shrouding the home. We all should know how homeless people feel about living in squalid places. You all should be thankful for a home since we now know what home is.
