I lived seventeen years of my life in the Philippines, four years of which is with my mom separated from us because she had to move and work in Canada while my dad also seemingly separated from us since he had to work longer hours shifting his loneliness and longing for my mom, to his focus on his daily counseling and paper work. Within those four years, my mom was able to cope with the sadness of being homesick by being able to talk to us every day for an hour before we went to school in the morning and a couple of hours before we went to sleep at night. Those hours of conversation made us feel like we were closer than we actually were. My mom became more well-informed with every detail of our daily activities from the morning we woke up and got ready for school up to…

People say home is where the heart is, and although I do think that is somewhat true, I feel that it’s not the home that makes the family, but the family that make the home. I recently realized just how content I was with family when I had a family reunion in a small cabin in Idaho. Although there was over fifteen of us in a 5 bedroom cabin, it didn’t matter because whether we were lounging around, fishing, or hiking we were together doing what God had intended for us to do. I guess many people camp and hike and do outdoor activities, but it was different for me because I got to do it with my family in the environment that was so safe and loving. The reason I felt so overjoyed doing such miniscule activities is because; my extended family and I hardly see each other, including my older brother whom I love dearly. Considering I so not see them, I was happy to do anything with them, no matter how small. I heard a quote from a song when I was little and it said “You don’t know what you got til’ its gone.” I finally understand because family isn’t meant to be so far apart from each other. With our family it doesn’t matter where we are, but as long as we are together we have the best of times. I feel the most content with my family because I can just be so real around them and they always make me feel so loved. The reason that I feel the finest in the environment in which my family resides is because, I was always raised a family man, along with having the morals of one. I guess I feel the most gratified when around my two older siblings who live in Florida. This is why I am trying to be nearer to them in my college years of life. My new atmosphere of living will hopefully be at the Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. This is so that I can major in aviation, which is something I love, and so I can be in the environment that I love the most, with my family. I guess all I can say is that my family means the most to me because, although you…
In life I face situations that cause me to adjust to different things. I learn more when I am away from home. Being near home is so much easier than being away from home. When I am near home I can easily drive to see my family, but when I am away. I have to wait. When it was time to go off, I had to make a choice of begin away, off to college or being near home.…
The first thing when we move out of our country is that, I miss the experience of our immediate family, our belongings and memories of detail from the past. Little or big details to me every Sunday when I used to see my parents and shared with them the dinner, sharing ideas, watching TV, exchange ideas ,taking them to medical appointments and enjoy shopping together.…

Everyone has a place they call home, whether it lies in a person, an object, an actual building enclosed by four walls, or a special place or event that holds meaning to you that has occurred throughout your lifetime. It bring us bliss, satisfaction, and it holds unique memories closest to us. We feel secure almost as if it’s a fortress, and although it may not be flawless this place holds so much affection to our heart. When you think of home you think of parents, siblings, grandparents, relatives, you become at peace when you are there, and you also feel some type of warm comfort. The word home has many representations but they all gather the same image, you are at home where you are happiest and most content, and once you leave that is when…
