Za (The) Meaning of Home

My home feels like a safe and welcoming place. Home is also a place to feel happy and excited. A place to feel the warmth of family even when you're sad or when you're feeling down. It's a place to let out all your worries and emotions. In my home there are 5 people that live with me. My Mom, Dad, 2 sisters and ME!!! My younger sister makes HUGE messes so our house is pretty messy but that’s okay, because it’s not about how messy and dirty it is. It’s about the love, comfort, support, laughter and all the memories that it gives you though your days till you grow old. Some days it’s loud and nosey but others it’s nice and quiet. In the kitchen where my Mom and Dad like to cook and bake it always smells good and feels full of love. My family is originally from another country called the Philippines. After my parents got married they moved all the way across the WHOLE world to where I live now Canada British Columbia. The Philippines is where most of my family lives. It's also the place I get to go every 2 years to visit my family. In the Philippines there's always laughter, love and singing in the air. Home is not just about the shelter it’s about the people who live in it. By: Jillianne B.
