What Makes a Home?
People around the world think about “home” in different ways. Xuchen, a student from China, thinks home is often seen as a special place—like the saying “Home, sweet home.” But other people think of home as more about feelings and experiences than just a house.
Home in a Backpack
Rain, a student from New York, once travelled far from his parents’ house. At first, he carried a heavy backpack full of things from his old life. But after five months, he realized: his backpack had become his home! It held memories from his past and new things he collected on his trip.
Home Is Where the Fun Is
Whitney, a writer from California, moved to Colorado for work. She didn’t just live there—she made it her home by doing things she loved: camping, horseback riding, and exploring. She said, “Home is where I belong. It helps me discover who I am.”
Home Is a Feeling
Rain and Whitney both believe home isn’t just a place—it’s a feeling. As the saying goes, “Home is where you make it.”
A German professor, William Sax, explains that Western people might miss old homes, but they believe who you are comes from inside you—not just where you live.
Think about It!
