A Place Where I Belong - Personal Essay

We all know that home is a place where we feel safe the most. It is also the place where most of our, or should I say, my unforgettable moments happened. A place where you can always consider the most comfortable one. But home doesn’t only associate to the physical aspect. It can also consider the aspect in where the people can be compared to home. My family is my home, as simple as that. Considering I have been with them since the day I was born. The days where I have struggles and the moment I have joy.

As you can see in the first picture above, they are my parents which symbolized home. They where the first and still the one that’s making my home a unique one. Considering them as the first who’ve struggle and encountered the circumstances, I’m proud that they conquer it all and made it as an inspiration to become stronger and better for us. Without them, I will not experience the things or moments that I’ve been experiencing all throughout my way. They are my source of strength in facing every fear that I’m into. The second picture shows my grandmother, mother, and her two brothers. I consider them as my home because no matter what happens, their love and support to us will never fade. There were times when we encounter financial shortage, they were always there to help us, even though they are not near to us and they have their own family. Every time when they go to our house, I can say that their respect to their eldest sister, which is my mom was always the same back when they were children. They are the ones of my home since they showcase to us or me rather that siblings should respect, love, support and help each one other.
