Learning to see my home in a new light

My Scholarship entry - Revisiting and Redefining A Place Called Home

In the morning, the keeper of this place would rise early to attend to the chores around the premise. He tends to the gardens – all the trees, every plants – and he cleans the drains, etc. Morning to morning, he would clean the pool and sprinkle white chlorine powder into the pool. It reminded me of magical fairy dusts. It also made me wonder if anyone else notices him at all as he attend to all the chores in a place we call home. I did not grow up here and I only came to live here when I returned from my study abroad. This may be a condominium but the premise is still considered our home too. He is, in one way or another, keeper of many homes.
