The meaning of home to me
For me home is not about where I am, but what I am doing. Today I will be writing about my family, how much I love them, and what they mean to me. I’m also going to write about my friends and how they care about me. Then my final topic is about my cat, how she acts, and what she looks like. These things feel like home to me because they are always there for me.
I have a big family so I’m only going to write about my closest members. Let's start off with my dad. My dad is nice, caring, and he’s a really good cook. He tries really hard to be healthy for me because he has a bad heart. Then there is my brother Jack. Jack is funny, but he spends most of his time on his XBOX or hanging out with his friends. He moved to my Auntie Tina’s house so now he goes to a different school than me and I’m upset about it, but it could be worse. My cousin Amelia is kind, sweet, and she has a lot of energy. I like playing with her because even though we argue a lot I can’t imagine my life without her in it. My family feels like home to me because they have always been there for me.
I have nice friends. My three closest friends are Chase, Sophie and Amelia. Chase is my boyfriend. He's funny, he gets me gifts, and of course I get him gifts too. Let’s move on to my bestie, Sophie. We hang out a lot, but it's been hard since I moved schools. We used to see each other every day. Now we only see each other some weekends, but even if we don’t go to the same school she will always be my best friend. Amelia is my cousin and we live together. Even if she can be annoying sometimes I wouldn't want anything to change. My friends feel like home to me because I feel like I can tell them anything.
The final topic is about my cat. I have a cat whose name is Oreo. She's a black cat with white on her neck and belly, and she has green eyes. She usually sleeps in the day so she can roam around at night. When I go to bed she always comes in with me because she is a big sook. Every morning I give her a treat because she is a good kitty. She’s only four, but she's very small and she’s considered a tuxedo cat. My cat feels like home to me because she always comforts me when I’m upset.
The things I’ve talked about in this essay feel like home to me. I chose to write about my family because they have always been there for me. My friends are funny. I chose my cat because she’s cute and fluffy. I chose these things to write about because they mean a lot to me.
