My Home, My Garden

To me, a home is like a garden. Just like a garden, my home is a place where I can grow safely. In my home, I feel protected, like a plant sheltered from strong weather. My home makes me feel safe because there are people there to care for me that I can trust. Some plants are moved to a new garden, and that is like being adopted. Just like a garden, people chose to care for me and help me grow. Not all plants grow at the same speed and that reminds me of my learning disability. Sometimes I need more time to grow, but my home gives me patience and support. In a garden, every plant matters, even if it grows differently. A home can be big or small but what truly matters is how it makes people feel. A garden also allows plants to grow in their own shape and colour. My home lets me feel accepted for who I am. The love and support I receive is like sunlight and water, helping me grow stronger every day. Home is the garden where I am growing into the person I am meant to be.
