Home can be different for everyone. It can be a person, a house, or a specific place. I think that home is just somewhere that you have support, or someone who gives you support. Home is someone that always welcomes you and helps you when you need it. It’s somewhere that you have your best memories. It’s somewhere that all your favorite people are, whether it's family or friends.

To me, my home is my favorite people. As a military child I don’t know where my home would be because I move around so often. I never really got close to my family in the states because I have always lived so far away from them, so I don’t know a specific place that I can call home. If I had to choose somewhere to call my home, it would be in Colorado. This is because I remember going and visiting family there when I was very young. I remember spending so much time there and being very sad when it was time to go home. I remember playing with my siblings all the time and I remember feeling so safe. I could also consider this being my home because I share so many memories with my siblings there. My sisters are 2 of the most important people to me.

I also think that a person can be someone's home. For me, all my favorite people and the important people in my life would be my home. Since most of the friends I've made throughout my life have been Dodea students, I don’t have a specific place that I could call my home. I could consider these people my home because they’re always there to look out for me. I know that if I ever need them, they’ll be there. If they ever need me, I’ll be there for them too. I could also consider them my home because they make me feel comfortable and safe, just like a home should. Sometime’s a house isn’t always home. Many people grow up with bad memories in a household, even if it’s a childhood house, they may not consider that they’re home because they were never given the love and support that you need in a home.

In conclusion, a home is somewhere where you have support and unconditional love. It’s somewhere you can always go back to with open arms.
