Today's Memories

Why philosophy? Is it useful? Most people say no. I say yes. I could not say otherwise, I'm a philosophy teacher. I wish I was a teacher in my home town but I found a job in a neighboring town, 25 km from Slobozia, my home town. It was my dream to become a philosophy teacher. After I finished the high school I tried at the Economics Studies Academy in Bucharest but I failed. The following year I wanted to go to the Faculty of Geology but in the meantime I changed up my mind. I started to read some books of philosophy and I decided to go to philosophy. I tried to the Faculty of Philosophy at the State University in Bucharest and I failed again with a very low mark. Very disappointed, I decided to go to a private university and that's what I did.

He helped me a lot. If he didn't tell me to come with him in Bucharest I wouldn't make it to move at the daily courses. I forgot to say, when I moved to Spiru Haret I moved at the daily courses whilst before I was at non frequency courses. I used to go to Bucharest every weekend for courses. Oh, not every weekend but every two weeks. It's been a lot of time past. After that year, I don't know exactly what year, I decided together with one of my friend from the dormitory to go get a job in journalism. We went at 'Cotidianul' newspaper and they accepted us. We didn't get a contract immediately but we could start working as journalists. It was cool, really cool experience. During that time I was with Cristina...
