“In the reading Chronicles of a Once Pessimistic College Freshman” By Bilal Rahmani, I think Rahmani’s Intellectual home is the college he attended. At first, he starts off like a dropout student, someone who’s forcing themselves to attend college, describes his counselor as a “dictator” for choosing a class for him, rather than helping him out and doing his choice of interest. Then he calls out college and the students very depressing and was very careless toward his class, professor, and college. He was smart and had very high test scores and felt like he didn’t belong in that environment. He lacked motivation and support. Until one day, a stunts called out the answer right before him, then classmates joined and kept on adding their thoughts, while Rahmani also wanted to add his all of a sudden, and be part of the conversation. I think that class conversation within the whole class, students engaging with one another, is what interested Rahmani in education, and made his college an intellectual home.
