I was born in March 1999 in a village in Ağrı. I was the first child and first grandchild of the family. This allowed me to be treated with more respect and love throughout my life.

When it was said that girls were not valued much in the eastern regions, I thought it was absurd, perhaps because my family, contrary to this saying, valued and cared for me immensely. Over time, from the situations I witnessed around me, from many of my friends being taken out of school and married off in exchange for the ridiculous thing called bride price, I understood why this saying was used.

Until I was three years old, everything in my life was normal. At the age of three, my family noticed an eye condition that would perhaps lead me to discover all the eye drops. Because of my eye condition, I spent three years in hospitals in Istanbul. I attended primary and secondary school at the school in my village.

At fourteen, I started at Türk Telekom Ağrı Social Sciences High School, one of the best high schools in Ağrı. Since the school was quite far from my home, I had to stay in the school dormitory. Although it was a difficult period, it taught me a lot about friendship and self-reliance.

In high school, I studied a foreign language and took the exam accordingly. My goal was to become an English teacher. However, I couldn't teach a foreign language to individuals who couldn't use their native language correctly. So, with the aim of educating these individuals from the ground up, I decided to become a classroom teacher. I didn't have the necessary knowledge of mathematics and literature for the equal weight section. I studied regularly to do my best. Three months before the exam, I learned that my eye condition had worsened due to studying too much. I already had 100% vision loss in my left eye, and the fear of losing my other eye as well drove me into depression. I was referred to Ankara, where the necessary precautions were taken, but my right eye now had 50% vision. I should be thankful for that too. Despite all these problems, I got a good result on the exam and got accepted into the department I wanted at Dokuz Eylül University in Izmir. My only goal now is to graduate successfully from university and become a good and beneficial teacher for my country, my nation, and the young children I will guide.

Achieving this goal didn't seem easy. I grew up in a city like Ağrı, a city of hardship. My father did his best to support us, but unfortunately, we didn't have any savings for university. It wasn't just me; another sibling was also going to university, and another was in high school. My father was responsible for supporting a family of seven. To avoid being a burden on my father, I started looking for scholarships. I came across the EGET Foundation and did detailed research about it. I thought to myself, this must be the most productive and beneficial opportunity I've found in my scholarship research. After graduation, I would be a source of hope for other students. What more could a prospective teacher want! I immediately applied and was very happy when I learned that I had been awarded the scholarship. I am currently still receiving the scholarship from the foundation. I am grateful to those who provided this scholarship, which made my education easier, and to the EGET Foundation for facilitating it. I wish this esteemed foundation, which has brought joy to hundreds of people, continued success…
