Rahmani struggled in the beginning of his college years being engaged despite him being a straight A student; he just didn’t see the appeal and wouldn’t apply himself like he would in his younger years. Since, being rejected from his middle school to join one that nobody’s never heard of, his outlook on school there on became very linear. He went into college very apathetic and egotistical, mentioning how his classmates were dumb giving their opinions on Ernest Hemmingway’s’ ideologies  and how they couldn’t possibly understand the “enigmatic allegories” presented in his texts. But, seeing how a discussion about an author he considers the best pique his interest, he eventually found what he needed to feel like he’s getting the most out of college. His intellectual home at City Tech wasn’t ideal at first, but the more he became engaged in discussions, readings and inevitably interacting with people he would call friends, it became clear that this was his home and he would grow stronger participating in it. The people in his “home” would be his teacher and colleagues who would present a good debate to motivate his mind. While the places would be in school and throughout campus, He would imagine them as vibrant communities and much more intense than just a regular school. An example of this would be when he expressed, “The classroom became ink, penetrating the water, which was my mind, adding new colors, creating something completely new, something I alone could never hope to create. The discussion dragged me in, and I too began to share my ideas, adding to the excitement of the classroom.”  He pictured the classroom more creatively and more lively like a movie scene. The processes that he would partake is joining clubs, being involved in literary contests and overall courses that grabbed his attention and expanded his mind. Even though his first month here was depressing and his longing to leave grew, he finally found his happiness in his forever intellectual home that will hopefully change his outlook on education for years to come .
