Home is not just a House

Home is not just a house. Not just four walls and a roof, here’s what home means to me: home is a place where I can feel safe, comfortable, and happy. And it might be the same for you too, whether you have no siblings or lots, two parents or one you're most likely happy. And if you aren’t that's OK, you might not be happy with your family, for example, me and my big brother were fighting. Insults and physically too. And right there and then, I hated my brother. Shortly after that event, I realized something. I had to be grateful no matter what. So, I went up to my brother and apologized to him. So always be grateful for everything some people don’t have a home or a roof over their heads. That’s why I trust habitat for humanity to bring people happiness, peace, safety and most importantly a home for people in need of one. Because some people are less fortunate and do not have a home. Even though we are fortunate and have a home of our own, we should still be grateful for it, because we might go broke or homeless too, but it’s a very slight possibility. But it’s possible. And that is what home means to me.
