In order to make you understand,I have to give you some details.I come from
Greece and I am 24 years old.I finished High-School in the year 1994 and due
to many family problems I had to work and not to continue studies in
university.I had already obtained a diploma in music (piano and theoretical
studies)and I started working as a teacher in conservatories and I also gave
private lessons at home.At the same time,I was offered a really tempting
position in a company dealing with computers,telecommunications and office
automation.So I started working there too.After some years,I had already
become succesful and I earned a lot of money.

But...something was missing.My one and only dream since my childhood was to
become a doctor to serve people.Although people around me were saying that I
had succeeded many things at this young age of mine,I never felt
happy,satisfied or proud of myself.Medicine was always an eternal flame.So,I
decided to give myself a chance to make my dream come true.I started
searching universities all over the world.

Unfortunately,in my country doors were closed because of the new education
system which doesn't allow students who have postgraduate before year 1999
to sit for the exams.So,I had to look for another country!But,I didn't have
a better luck.In most of the cases I was too old for them.Finally,I found
out that I could go in Romania.I got information,I asked for details and I
started learning the language.Last September I came in Bucharest,I sat for
the exams and I succeeded,getting the best grades among all
strainers.But...my happiness didn'l last a lot!!!

I know that it is not at all polite to insult the country in which I live.I
am not that kind of person.Please, do not misunderstand!I do not know if you
have any idea of what is going on in this country concearning "money".The
problem is that I didn't know anything.Here,we strainers pay even for the
air we breeth.I do not exagerate.Unfortunately,universities are open for
anyone that has money to pay.Thousands of children,although they had no
grades at school,come here to make true their parents dream with the only
one way.Money!This situation has become a status quo and noone can change
it.I started studing hard,I tried not to listen to the others,but in the end
it was as I was told to be from the beginning.They ask more and more money.I
succeeded at all the courses of the first semester but if I had not given
them money,they wouldn't have given me grades to continue.That's the
situation.I am treated like a shipowner!I can not continue under this
circumstances.I want to be a doctor.How I can trust people's life in my
hands,if I hadn't studied seriously?Others might can.I can not.My conscience
protests.I finally was given a chance to accomplish my wish and I can not do
it right.I sacrificed everything.My career,my family,the people I love,my
whole life to do something that I consider holy and important.And look what
I face.This letter is my last hope to continue dreaming.I do not know what
to do anymore.I am desperate.My only hope is to try a transcription in
another country.Here the only thing I do is to pay and not learn
anything.And for God's sake I am in Romania!I live with the gypsies.I am
afraid every day and every night of criminals.And it's not only that.The
cost of living with all these that happen here,is higher from what it would
be in a developed country.It is like a joke.

That's why I wrote all this story.Forgive me for not being as formal as it
is used to be in such circumstances.But please understand my position.It
would be the best gift for me to be in a serious university with inspired
teachers.That's the only way for me to function.

I would be thankful if anyone could give me a piece of advice,where to apply, what to do...
Thank you very much.
