I was born in Bursa, T\u00fcrkiye, quite a while ago. I spent most of my childhood playing hopscotch and skipping in front of our house in my little grey plastic slippers, now they are called sliders. The rest of the time I was busy reading, writing and daydreaming all somehow proved to be very useful activities.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t say that I was academically very bright, I had always the highest marks in literacy, history and philosophy, usually got fairly good marks in mathematics, but physics and chemistry are subjects that I never enjoyed. Maybe that is the reason I just managed to pass them. On top of this, I missed receiving a merit certificate because I failed my PE lesson, as a result of not being able to do a backflip. I wonder how many children would fail their PE because they couldn\u2019t do a backflip!
Fascinated by history I wanted to become an archaeologist. My parents who had never been to school were not so keen on this idea. My mum asked me what they did. I told her that they dig the ground and find old things from the past. She was astonished, \u2018 You want to go to university to learn how to dig the ground, I teach you that\u2019 she said. I waved goodbye to my dream to become an archaeologist, at least I was allowed to study history. After studying history for 2 years, I decided to change my direction and studied psychological counselling. Maybe we decide what to do with our future too fast, too young before we are ready!<\/p>\n
After I had finished university, I came to England to learn English. During my studies, I met my lovely husband and we have been together ever since then. We have a very handsome son called Simon Peter. Encouraged by my husband and the priest of our local church I completed my PGCE in Early Years and Primary Education in 2004. I then worked in inner-city London schools as a class teacher, music coordinator and computing leader. In 2014, I moved to higher education where I have been training primary school teachers.<\/p>\n
My journey from T\u00fcrkiye to the UK, where I am today has been a difficult but also interesting one. I met with some really joyful people and some very painful, luckily more joyful than painful. I learned something from each person who crossed my path and maybe taught something to those who I met. I look forward to forthcoming events in my life and will continue to learn and share with hopefully many nice people around the world.<\/p>\n
