Jozo: Well, these are two different things, anyways. One thing is that you want to apply to grammar school to be able to do Roma Studies, and entrance exams are always uncertain. The worst thing is that if you went somewhere else, it would be really hard to do Roma Studies. Totally unfair, I guess. But if you really want to do it, you should definitely try to apply. The second thing is that you’re scared you might not be admitted because you’re Roma. It’s pretty hard for me to say anything about that. What about you, Dan? Has it been similar with your school?

Dan: First, I didn't want to go to grammar school. At the elementary school I was told that I should stay on the safe side. I could never get a part-time job because I had the wrong skin colour,., but school was pretty OK, I can't complain.

Andrea: That's what I'm afraid of - that I would be the odd one out, once again. Gah!

Jozo: Listen, why don't you just try and apply to a school where you can be sure that no such thing will happen to you? What about if you and your folks went there, and checked out how people behave there to to another. If people are OK somewhere, they won't mind. And if they are unpleasant, they’ll treat you badly regardless whether you're Roma or not.

Andrea: Well, first they would have to want to go. It might be worth to asking my mum. It might interest her and she could be calmer after that.

Dan: Yeah, it might be a good idea to start on your parents. It could really help. What you need is to get somewhere where there are good people. Otherwise it will be hell, no matter what you look like.
