Madeline Munoz Rahmani’s Intellectual Home.

In the reading “Chronicles of a Once Pessimistic College Freshmen.” by Bilal Rahmani we are met with examples that show us a clear representation of what ended up being Rahmani’s intellectual  chosen home. His intellectual home was the college. Rahmani ended up going to City Tech and at first he wasn’t a fan of the idea of him going to the school. Rahmani thought the school environment was a depressing place, felt as though the school didn’t have anything going for it self nor would have anything for him and it was clear he wasn’t interested to be apart of the community. There was a time in college where Rahmani was humbled by his own peers and he realized that the students here are actually interesting, possibly more interesting than him. It was a discussion about Hemingway and that the moment where he had a change in perspective about the environment he was in. Rahmani had entered the school not interested in being apart of the community and didn’t think anyone in the school would interest him enough to change his opinions on the school but after experiencing discussions with other students it was a clear change and how he wanted to attend the school from moving forward. Rahmani entered clubs that he thought he never would before he was more engaged in what he was being taught, he ended up feeling comfortable in his environment.
