Bilal Rahmani’s Intellectual home consists of place, people and processes. At the beginning of the essay Rahmani talks about how high school demotivated him, he no longer wanted to participate and was disinterested in learning, he went to college barely to show up. By the following semester through transition he had found his intellectual home, at CityTech, in his English class when  a classmate of his, a (dumb) girl who sits next to him and the professor sowed the seed of doubt and then his classmates, they all started discussing ideas from different perspective, it grabbed his attention and he experienced epiphany that made him be more open minded and just like that he was interested “The discussion dragged me in, and I too began to share my ideas, adding to the excitement of the classroom.” In this essay, CityTech, particularly the English class, the girl, professor and the group discussion builds up Rahmani’s Intellectual home “Now, my mind has opened to this college and has been flooded with the thoughts of hundreds of students as eager and ambitious to learn as I am. This public institution of learning, so often looked down upon, has come to shape the person I’ve always wanted to become.”
