Rahmani’s Intellectual Home- Alondra.A

Rahmani had a real hard time expressing himself creatively, he didn’t feel the need to unlock his thoughts anywhere or to anyone, for no one around him at the moment could improve him, he deserved better so he thought. It seemed that for the most part his intellectual home was his mind alone, In his mind he could judge and guard his thoughts, but being in this ego state he never aloud himself to grow academically for he thought he knew better or enough. This however changed completely when his second semester English class assigned him to read Hemingway, he recognized Hemingway he was smart like that, but what he knew best was how to underestimate others, he let himself think he was the only one to understand the message of “Cat in the Rain”  so to his surprise the girl he labeled dumb taught him that this amazing author he knew was a misogynist. This was the spark he needed to recognize others’s potential, he saw the class expand with wonder so it encouraged him to let his guard down and expand this wonder with them. As he moved forward in this college he finally was inspired to express himself the way he always wanted to and strengthen his thoughts and knowledge to and even higher level. His intellectual home became city tech.
