What Does Home Mean to Me?

Did you know a house is not just a building, it is part of my family. Family is what makes a house a home! Home for me is very memorable because it's where I learned so many different things that have helped me a lot. For example, I learned how to write my name, I learned how to eat, to walk on two feet, and how to draw! These memories are important to me because my parents taught me all of them through love. Home is special to me because it's where my parents are. always, and I mean it when I use the word ALWAYS!! They help me whether I have big problems or little problems. I know they are always there for me. When I sleep, I feel peaceful and safe because I know my parents are there and I feel content. Home is where I experience all the seasons. In the Summer and Spring, I love to smell the fresh minty air that cools me down and see the flowers blooming, and in the Autumn and Winter feels frosty and glacial which I can see all the snow piling up and snowmen slowly coming up, and when its Autumn I love to step on the crunchy leaves. Besides all the wonderful things I said, is you should be grateful for your parents and home because over at least 330 million people don't have homes, and you should be thankful for your culture because some cultures can't represent themselves which is really heartbreaking💔, so if you ever look back at your home no matter if its big or small or you can or can't represent your culture remind yourself you should be thankful and remember that earth is also your home!! :)
