Albania: a Diamond Being Polished

Thank you for sharing your positive thoughts about Albania. Of course there is much to be improved, but as you say, there is hope

You have precisely and briefly described Albania David, thank u for sharing your positive thoughts for us! . It has been a pleasure attending your training as well!

David, I am impressed how your were able to portraite Albania that accurately. We need more articles like this, to remind the world, including the Albanian citizens, the truth and the potential that Albania has. Regards, Brisida

I like hearing these for my mother land, but there are so many things that cannot be seen and understood in some visits in Albania. I have 5 years living in Istanbul , because I was studying there, and however I did not want to return back here in Albania, I was obliged to because I had no where else to go. However Istanbul it is not a developed city like London, I can see the huge difference between Albania and Turkey. Albanian people definitely have the capacity to learn , they are fast learners and great minds, but they do not live anymore in Albania, because the system has stolen our dreams, our future and nobody recognizes our potential. All the youth wants to go and develop themselves abroad, because the system has made everyone close minded , and parents are hardly earning the food for their children. We, we the youth , the most important generation, we have lost the hopes and the faith for our nation. People living in Albania are not working because they do not have motivation, because there is no challenge, no recognition and no team. Universities are highly corrupted, professors are the part I hate more in this place. While I was studying at Bogazici university in Istanbul, I adored my professors, they were doing everything to activated and recognize the youth, while here they just want money, and spend their time in the caffe . My words are stuck in my throat when I write these and tears cannot stop...
