Rhazi Mohamed Kone, Student Educating His Mind and Soul
The “World's Community College,” LaGuardia, was the simple choice
which gave me my first steps into a higher education institution. It was
The English Language Center where I embraced a new multicultural
life. Every single day was the discovery of a new country and a new culture. I was amazed by the ethnic and racial diversity of my international schoolmates. Our inability to express ourselves well in
English became insignificant for us.

The relationship shared with my peers and teachers facilitated the social immersion I was going through.

After six months at TELC, I understood that LaGuardia Community College was the school I had to attend. I didn't make this choice only because it was the school where I had the opportunity to learn English, but also because it was the place where I understood the words “unified” and “equal.”
