The ACCOUNT of my journey has neither a historical nor an educational character. It is simply an attempt, through the unfolding of my own time, to better acquaint the new generations with those who preceded them, their experiences, and their values.

In this confessional narrative of events and situations, it is illustrated how, through memories and experiences, space and time, reality was transformed into the wisdom and life stance of a person who, on a journey that started from a small mountain village in Epirus, managed to approach his dreams amidst the difficult conditions that marked the path of our homeland itself.

This is a narrative that provokes existential exploration and introspection, not only for documenting the experience of the author-narrator as a university teacher with all the institutional roles he has served over the years, but for all the observations and the overall assessment of his journey.

He notes: "In my life, I have been fortunate, because in an environment of contradictions I found a way. My path was opened by hard work and my belief that social justice and freedom are achieved through the daily choices we all make."
