To me, home is my family. I move a lot so I don’t have a place as my home. I always have my family with me no matter where I move. I can always be myself with my family.

As a military brat, I move around a lot. I haven’t lived anywhere for longer than four years. Even when I was younger, so I don’t remember it very well. I haven’t lived anywhere long enough for me to consider any place home. So for me home isn’t a place.

No matter where I move I have had my family with me. When I move to a new base I don’t know anyone, but I always have my family. For example, if I don’t have anyone to sit with at lunch I can sit with my siblings.

I can always be myself around my family. There are some people that you have to act differently around and you can’t express your opinions. They might stop associating with you or treat you differently. With my family I don’t have to worry about that. I can express my opinions freely without worrying about repercussions.

For me home isn’t a place. I move a lot and therefore don’t consider a place home. However, I always have my family with me. I can always be myself with my family. For me my family is my home.
