Living without home country-citizen of the
world
Being born Greek has already a meaning of its own. Great history ….and a
lot of worthy achievements of Greek nation and its people….. Some people
would think that a Greek kid is really lucky. The recent past and present
can easily prove otherwise. Greece as part of western civilization is
considered that is a country where the kids growing with at least the basic
rights guaranteed. Unfortunately, this is far from the reality.
Allow me talk about my story. As teenager, I had the dreams about
becoming a pro athlete, making history and achieving notable things as
part of Greece’s sport community. Because of the reasons that are not
needed to be mentioned, I ended being an average student and athlete
with only target to get a place in one Greek university and without a
career before even started. You see, the script goes like that, if you can’t
separate yourself from the rest you must follow the path alongside with
them. Education supposed to be free in Greece but young people usually do
not have the ability of choice because the way of the qualification system
works. So either students end up to universities that they do not like or
either they choose the way of private education in order to study the topic
of their desire. In other words the right of free education is not a reality or
if people want to believe that it is, it does not work as it should be.
