HOME- Where Love Begins

Home is not just four walls and a roof. Home is where my heart feels warm, my dreams take flight, and my laughter echoes the loudest. It is where my mom’s gentle voice wakes me up in the morning, where my dad’s jokes make me giggle, and where my little sister’s hugs feel like sunshine. Home is not just a place—it is the people who love me unconditionally. But I know that not everyone is as lucky as I am. Some children do not have a safe place to call home. That is why The Meaning of Home contest is so special. It allows kids like me to use our words to help build homes for families in need. A single story, a heartfelt paragraph, or even a few lines filled with love can make a real difference. To me, home means love, safety, and happiness. And if my words can help bring that feeling to another family, then I know I have written something truly meaningful. By: Andy Nguyen
