ENTERPRISE

Entrepreneurship is not just about coming up with an idea, but also about having the courage to bring it to life and taking responsibility for it. During the project in which I had the opportunity to establish my own company and develop a product in high school, I experienced this reality firsthand. I worked with a team, and moving forward together with them helped me develop leadership and team management skills.

This process not only improved my abilities in time and stress management, problem-solving, creative thinking, and making quick decisions, but also provided me with valuable experience in dealing with uncertainty and taking risks. Entrepreneurship taught me to be proactive, to seize opportunities, and to persevere in the face of challenges.

For me, entrepreneurship was not just a project; it was a learning experience that helped me discover my potential and shape my vision for the future. This experience has laid a strong foundation for me to develop an innovative and solution-oriented approach throughout my university life.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Throughout my student life, I have valued social responsibility work and made an effort to participate in such initiatives actively. From a young age, during my preschool and primary school years, I took part in nature-themed camps, which not only allowed me to grow up in close connection with nature but also laid the foundation for my environmental awareness.

In high school, I transformed this sensitivity into more concrete actions. In 9th and 11th grade, I actively took part in the "Zero Waste" and "Waste Oil Collection" projects, which aimed to raise awareness about environmental pollution. In addition, guided by my love for animals and my sense of environmental responsibility, I participated in community service activities and charity events through the "Nature, Environment, and Animal Protection Club" during my 9th and 10th grade years.

The experiences I gained throughout this journey provided me not only with a sense of responsibility but also with empathy, collaboration, and solidarity. Today, these values—carried both in my personal life and in my social perspective—stand as the most valuable outcomes of my journey.

MATHEMATICS VILLAGE

In 2024, I participated in the "General Mathematics in High Schools" camp, and in 2025, I joined the "Mathematical Analysis in High Schools" camp, both organized by Nesin Villages. In total, I received two years of training there. The education I received was not limited to mathematics; I also had the opportunity to learn many things about life itself. Each of the two camps I attended was a two-week program, during which we had eight hours of lessons every day.

However, these lessons were nothing like the math classes we usually take at school. Here, you look at mathematics from a new perspective, through a completely different lens. You learn to question, to prove what is true and even what is false; these are truly valuable skills. As I mentioned earlier, this process teaches not only mathematics but also many aspects of life.

There are only a limited number of staff members in the village. Students who participate in the camp are divided into task groups, and each is given responsibilities within their capacity. Each group is supervised by undergraduate students who volunteer to help at the village. These tasks—such as cleaning the amphitheater, organizing the library, collecting trash, helping with meals, preparing breakfast, washing dishes, and cleaning restrooms—instill habits that we should also carry into our daily lives.

Since everyone comes to the village with the same purpose, there is a strong spirit of friendship and solidarity in the environment. This camp, which I also plan to attend again in 2026, has given me invaluable lessons both in mathematics and in life.

SPORT

I believe that sports are the most valuable factor in my life, contributing greatly to my personal development.

Playing volleyball since childhood has taught me the spirit of teamwork, rock climbing has shown me how to use strength effectively, and squash has instilled in me individual competitiveness and the ability to think strategically at speed.

ART

Art is an important factor in my life, bringing me various values and perspectives.

The piano, which I played for a certain period during my childhood, helped me develop my sense of rhythm. The drums, which I currently play and which represent an artistic fusion of balance and mathematics, have given me the ability to use both the right and left sides of my brain fluently at the same time. My continuous interest in painting has nurtured my creativity, while the professional art lessons I took for a period of time have provided me with a perspective-oriented way of seeing things.

NATURE

Since childhood, through activities such as rock climbing, camps focused on learning to live in nature, lessons on recognizing plants and animals, teachings on living in a tent and personal care skills, and nature hikes, I have developed an awareness of my responsibility toward nature and have incorporated its protection into my life.
