Home in Just Four Words

Home is comfortable. Every day when I get home from school I look forward to laying down on my couch and binge-watching my favourite show. The sound of my mom's gentle voice when she returns from a hard day at work when we both sit down and share a bag of popcorn. The heat from the fireplace brings warmth to the entire house. My family makes home comfortable. Home is Beautiful. My Home is the community. School is the place where I make lifelong friendships. The park is the place for games, where the most scratches and bumps are formed. The local pizza joint is the place where birthday parties are held, where all my allowance is spent and where laughter occurs often. Every step I take outside reminds me how beautiful the world is. Home is Delicious. Every day I get to eat my mother's lovely cooking. My Mom's loving smile every time I come downstairs to eat, followed by the smell of freshly made nachos and banana bread which is truly outstanding. My Fathers' grateful expression every time he takes a bite of the suya he just brought home. Special dishes made just for me. Every time I eat food at home, it reminds me that I am blessed and full. Home is Everything. Home is my mom's gentle voice, home is the friends around me, home is the games I play, and home is the food I eat. Every time I think of home, I realize how privileged I am because not everyone has a home. A home without these things is just a house. I hope that through this project Habitat for Humanity can help more families find a home
