We wake up in the morning and we decide what to wear or what to eat. Most of us think we make choices because of who we are. Actually, we are our own choices. To my mind, we become who we are by making choices since we were born just because we are the creative force of our life. As a person who has been dreaming all the time, I have always thought a lot about my choices. Even if I know the standards of my country, my financial situation and how much my social place has a say in my choices, I can prepare myself for the future by pushing my limits as much as possible.
In fact, the most important factor that determined my choices was my extracurricular activities and the people I met there. I worked as a promoter, a participant, and a spectator in numerous organizations such as MUN and TEDx Talks. Thanks to dozens of different CEOs, engineers, lawyers, etc. I came up with more clear ideas. Especially, women coming from the country where sexism is the most common in the world and climbing the success ladder supported me to reach my ideals. One day, inspiring a young person like them became the main goal for me.
Due to born in a technology age, I have always been involved with technology while growing up. With many computer engineers in the family, my cousin, whom I see as my own brother, had been working on computers since he was young, and eventually he became a successful engineer. Meanwhile, he taught me the binary digit system, loops, flowchart and so on… Not to mention that I am currently working on C++ programming. However, to be honest, my ability for C language is much better, but I believe that I will improve my C++ language skill as well. Moreover, the fact that my parents were math teachers has always led me to think logically. As I grew older, I realized that I was always carrying out my actions by setting up an algorithm involuntarily in my brain. Therefore, I can surely say that my desire to explore the computer’s complex systems lead me to computer science. Because I am concerned people can not be ambitious and successful in the topics which they really do not interested in, I believe that computer science is the best area to be studied with enthusiasm for me. I know I will be happy where I can move forward without losing my sense of curiosity.
It is clear that I do not want to see myself in the future as a person who consists only of rational knowledge. As Einstein believed, it is useless to pile up information, we ought to process that information, and we must give our brains time to breathe while processing that knowledge. I took part in many extracurricular activities to release energy in my body and to rest my brain. When I was in elementary school, with the encouragement of an English teacher, I started playing guitar. We had a tiny school band and used to give concerts in our district. The house I lived in when I was in primary school was near to a football court. I used to always watch the matches played there. Over time, I started playing football with my friends. When I came to high school, I was founded the first women's soccer team in my high school and became the third in the district. However, unfortunately, I had to take a break due to the pandemic restrictions in my country.
Thanks to my foreign friends, I found that studying with different education systems in different countries is more beneficial in terms of self-development and gaining new knowledge. That's why I went to the USA 4 years ago and visited universities in many states for a month. It has been extremely useful for me to understand what I expect from a university and its place in my career. I realized that the education system in my own country was very different from my own expectations. Being successful both socially and academically was immensely difficult in my country's educational conditions. When I was in secondary school, when I went to Kosovo and Macedonia, I came across Turkish students from my country who went to study there. I was impressed by the fact that their foreign language skills were so advanced, they were also people who really learned to live independently and were able to stand on their own feet. As a result of these activities and trips, I decided that studying abroad gives self-confidence and courage.
In particular, the United Kingdom has produced the world's greatest leaders, and scientists. I firmly believe that England will open a great number of doors for me to reach my dream career and to improve my skills which is related to my aims. As someone who grew up in conditions where it is very difficult to think independently, I would like to see the opportunities this UK will offer me. Teens are losing their inspiration because of that thinking originally in my nation is getting more difficult. However, I do not prefer being someone who loose innovative soul and live simply to live. If I can change the life of just one person in the future, I cannot let the light in my eyes go out. Also, It is irrefutably obvious that it will be hard for me to accomplish my aims alone, I should be in a team from individuals with dynamic spirits like me. Because of the fact that 90% of the research submitted by the University of Hertfordshire is of international quality according to the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014). I might likewise want to encounter the joy of studying in a school where I can get a circle that will keep me from losing my energy and push me to improve. Furthermore, when I saw that the number of students continuing to higher education or placed in a job after undergraduate education is quite high, I learned that I could study in this school feeling safe about my future. Due to the increasing number of unemployed graduates in my country, it is nearly 4 million for 2020, my friends who study in Turkey cannot focus enough on their lessons or enjoy being a university student due to the concern of finding a job after university. I firmly believe that Hertfordshire University and of course the UK will keep me away from this stress and allow me to focus only on my education.
