My name is Isaac Olagoke, and this is the story of what home means to me. My home is in Nigeria, that’s where I am from too. I’m in Canada because my family left before I was born. I was sad to learn that, but I’m going to Nigeria next summer, so I feel good about that. I feel very nice about being in Canada because being here makes me feel safe because there are no wars. I am not there because my family thinks I am too young for that. I have friends and family that still live in Nigeria, I miss them so much. Well, I will see them soon. Anyway, it’s time to talk about home as a recognized human right because humans deserve a home. Without a home it’s hard to live. It’s important for the people to feel safe and that they have good food to eat and clean water. Home is a place that keeps you safe, home is a place that makes you feel like you belong, home is a place where you can sleep, it’s a place where you eat. And home is not just house; it’s a place with your friends and families love like here’s a song for home (BOOM home is a place where we love YEA with friends and family living with people like this is live you’re in haven) the song is done now let’s talk more about home. I love my home so much I will die because my home was the place I was born it’s going to be my home until I move out and when I move out, I will still go back to see my old home.
