What a Home Means to me

I'm going to talk about what Home means to me. A home means more than just the place where I live. It is where I feel safe, happy, and loved every single day. My home protects me from rain, snow, strong winds, and the hot sun. When I come home after a long day at school, I feel calm and relaxed because I know I am in a safe place. Home is where I can rest, have fun, and be myself without worrying. It is a place that makes me feel comfortable and peaceful. A home is not only made of walls, doors, and a roof. Home is also the love, care, and support that my family gives me. The bond I share with my family is like the roots of a tree. Just like roots are strong and keep a tree standing, my family keeps me strong and helps me grow. My family is always there for me when I feel sad, scared, nervous, or upset. They listen to me, comfort me, and help me feel better. Knowing that my family supports me makes me feel confident and brave. At home, my family teaches me important lessons that help me become a better person. They teach me to be kind to others, to show respect, and to be responsible. My parents help me with my homework when I do not understand something and encourage me to always try my best in school. They remind me that making mistakes is okay as long as I learn from them. At home, we spend time together eating meals, talking about our day, laughing, and enjoying each other’s company. Even when we disagree or argue sometimes, we always forgive each other and stay close because we love one another. Home is also where many special memories are made. We celebrate birthdays, holidays, and fun weekends together. We watch movies, play games, and share happy moments that I will always remember. Home is a place where I feel accepted for who I am. I can share my thoughts, feelings, and dreams without being afraid. My family encourages me to believe in myself and to work hard to reach my goals. An example of when being at home means a lot to me is how my mom and dad cherish me and provide so much for me every day. They work very hard to make sure I have everything I need, like food to eat, clothes to wear, and a warm, comfortable place to sleep. They make sacrifices to give me a good life and make sure I am healthy and safe. My mom and dad also show how much they care by supporting me in school, helping me when I struggle, and cheering me on when I succeed. They listen to me when I talk and make time for me even when they are busy. Knowing that my parents love me, protect me, and do everything they can for me makes me feel thankful and secure. To me, home is not just a building, it is a place full of love, care, and support. It is where my family bond is strong like a tree’s roots, holding us together no matter what happens. Home helps me grow, learn, and feel confident, and that is why it will always be the most important place to me. It also is where I will live until marriage. When I was little I didn’t know what a home actually meant but now I know what a home is because of my teacher, family and more. Now I know why a home is so important. A Home is a shelter that will never let me down. Thank you habitat for humanity for making people's lives so much better!❤️ By Trisha.Nguyen
