Chapter 5: "Who are the people that help Anna in achieving her targets and who are preventing her?"

Anna, who is the main character of the book, is very insecure and when she has to make a tough decision, she doesn't know if she is going to decide either by her feelings or by logic. Although she trusts people who are close to her and most of them want her to succeed, some of them want to deter her from her targets indirectly, because they think that her success will affect their lives.

+Kostas, is a friend that she first met when she went out with friends.Through  his behavior and his words, she realized that he was a man with many dreams like her and always wanted to achieve his goals. From their discussions, Anna found her inner peace and took courage and strength to continue fighting for her dreams, and although she sometimes found herself in a moment of weakness, Kostas was trying to convince her not to give up and to remember how it is to aim high.

-George, who is Anna’s boyfriend, works at the tax department and with the money that he makes from his job, he wants to fulfill many of his dreams. He likes nightlife and he likes  having always a good time. He has a high opinion of Anna and he wants to marry her and have a family. Anna not only loves him, but she also trusts his opinion very much. But when she told him her thoughts about the things that she wants to do (such as going to university), then George does not seem very pleased with this decision. He is trying to discourage her, by telling her that she doesn’t have the necessary education to get into the university. He believes that she’s having hallucinations and he is trying to show her what's the right thing to do. He thinks that she should focus only on him and their family, because although she has little education, with  she will eventually find a decent job more dishonestly. However, from his words he shows that he's feeling inferior, because Anna wants to study and she will eventually become superior than him.

+Nikos Alexiou, who is Anna’s professor, has a very important role in her guidance. Through his speech, the topics that they discuss and his teaching, he helps her to discover other aspects of herself, to explore her inner world and learn her capabilities. But in order to make his teaching more comprehensible, he wrote a story in which the main hero is a child, and from that story he’s trying to show the impasse that she is in right now, the importance of the decisions that she’s going to make and at the same time he wants to help her achieve her goals and get high. But, he wants to point out that she must not be pessimistic, but always try for the best.
