Transition to democracy

Laurel teacher witnesses fall of communism in her native country Romania

By Lauren Leist, Teen Staff Writer

“Young people welcome the changes and are ready for hard, good quality work. On the other hand, older conservative people are afraid that they would lose their identity and live even worse than before. Now that the communists are gone, it is all about each individual’s capacity of adjusting to changes and taking care of himself,” concluded Matu.
