Emigrating to study. A thin wire connects

Quando ero piccola, pensando all’università; immaginavo un edificio molto simile a quello che ospita la facoltà di scienze politiche sita in via Balbi.
Ho sempre pensato che il fatto stesso di voler studiare all’estero fosse sign of an open mind, and expressed a strong desire for integration into the host culture: not everyone thinks so. Recently I have been confronted with a self-styled representative of the Cameroonian students in Genoa. That individual (in my opinion can be blinded by the assumption that only the ignorant), I am discouraged to participate in a newspaper as a Work-Out http://www.work-out.org
In his view, do not write useless, and certainly would not have changed the status of Cameroonian students in Italy. In addition, it was unthinkable to participate in the initiatives, both political and cultural Italian students: "We are not here for that."
In my opinion, it is precisely this attitude of non-participation of some West African leaders have lead in their own countries, and ensures the immobility of our continent.
is no doubt that it is very difficult for a foreign student integration, but at every option we have, for several years, the Eastern and international branches. I would like to remind all university immigrants like me, who must seek and find the opportunity to express themselves, meet and grow together
NO to intolerance and racism, from wherever they come from.
