What Home Means to Me

My home has very very beautiful clothes. Why? Because Ukraine's clothes are with beautiful designs and it's called Vshanka. My country has amazing traditional food like Borsh or Varenik. Borsh is a soup that's really healthy for you. It's made out of tomatoes. Varenik are made out of dough and something inside it. Also, we have trains that are not old and not new. A train can travel far, like to the next country next to mine. My home has a lot of buildings that look like castles. In Ukraine, they have many sunflowers that are our traditional flowers. My home never started a war. My home stayed at its place. Now I just imagine being there with my big family and giving them a hug. I am here because there is a war, but I don't mind it much because I always remember that my people and home are so strong that they can beat it. I also want to say a shout out to my parents for making me feel better when I need it. I love my country and that is why I am writing about it.
