Meaning of Home

Here I am, standing in the principal's office, waiting for the principal to call my name. “Annabelle, come and see me in my office!” snapped the principal. As I walked to her office, I thought of the possible consequences: they could make me clean the bathrooms with the toothbrush or humiliate me in front of the school. None of that would compare to what she actually made me do. “Annabelle, at the principal's office again? Not a smart move,” spoke the principal looking at her, “I'll go easy on you this time. For now since you like writing on the bathroom stalls, you'll write me a paragraph of the meaning of home From your heart Or they would be consequences” Counseled principal when Annabelle got home she went to go work on The meaning of Home paragraph, She didn't want any consequences so she wrote it to her heart The meaning of home to me is not the place with four walls and roof above your head but the people you're with. The meaning of home isn't just a house that you buy but just the feeling of warmth inside your bones, and nature around you. Whether the feeling of warmth is in a city or its just in the country's nature. The meaning of home is never about something you buy, but the love and memories that surround you within it. Anything can be a home. Whether it's your fifth home or your second . It's all about the people that give to make it home. And the warm feeling inside your body And that's when you know the meaning of home. A House is a Building but a home is a Place you love Annabelle gave it to her Principal, she was very impressed.
