Ten years ago I decided to abandon our beloved country, because every day, I realised, how hard is to be real, to have other interests than money, a nice car, a rich husband and a good position (because of MESON) in a bank. I come from a very poor family, and always wanted to study music. It was and it is a passion for me, that many people from my environment could not even realise. They still think that music is only for dreamers, or for the gypsies perhaps, but in a small greek village, it is rather strange. Music, what for?Motzart, who is he? Are you crasy? Another problem very very serious is that unfortunatelly, studying and musik learning in greece, are still, very very expensive...For me, its a reality that I must accept. I will never had enough money to pay for my dreams, for example even to learn playing well or to buy a piano that still appears in my dreams. But I am here in switzerland now because I think for me it is perhaps too late to realise my dreams 100 per cent(for ex. I learned how to play the piano for 2 years, but I can not still buy a piano and go on with learning. I have only a small synthesiser). Money is unfortunately always a practical problem. Anyway, the point is that I do not want that my children grow up, with these ideals like money and expensive handys like in my country. I do not want that my children feel like xenos in their own country, when they do not have enough and great MESON. I am either rich or famous, I am not a lawyer a doctor or a tv star, I have no BIG connections and I do not want to say;please help me or help my children to find a job;to nobody. I disagree with the whole system in my country. So I want to give my children another chance, another opportunity, that I never had. Here I can give my family, the most important thing in the world, that is for me the education without paying a fortune. Here I am me, not the daughter of my father, not the daughter of my mother. My children are also seen like individuals. Never asks me or my children...to whom belongs you? Whats the profession of your parents, who sent you to us for this job etc. But the truth is that here I am like in self-exil,because although I love I love our country, it has hurt me so much, that I want to protect my children. I do not want that my children have such problems like me before. Because I am no rich,I can not pay frontistirio for them like other people and I can not pray for them to pass the panellinies exams, I dont have a nice car, a mobile phone at all, a house with credit either. I think that I have decided for the best future of my family, and I am trying to forget my wounds seeing my children enjoying the benefits of this country.
