The Key to My Home and My Heart

I used to think that home was a place with just four walls, but it’s much more than that. It’s a place where I feel loved, and a place where I feel welcome. In my home, I feel loved when my mom or dad tucks me into bed. I feel safe and lucky. It's a place where I feel happy even when things are down. It's also a place where I feel grateful for what I have. It’s a place where I can be myself. It’s a place where I smell my mom’s delicious empiñadas! If you walked into my home, you would smell my mom's vanilla candle burning. It’s a place where my family plays board games and my mom laughs so hard she is almost crying. It’s a place where I hear laughter of joy. If you came to my house, you would hear my baby sister laughing. If you went into my house, you would see my family eating dinner together. If you walked into my home, you would see my dad helping me with my homework. In my home, it's a place where we have movie nights every Saturday. It doesn't matter if your home is fancy or not. Big or small everyone deserves one. Lots of people don't have a home, but you help. Thank you, Habitat for Humanity, for giving everyone a home to live in!
