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 of which somehow proved to be very useful activities.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t say that I was academically very bright. I always had the highest marks in literacy, history and philosophy and 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!<\/p>\n
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. \u2018You want to go to university to learn how to dig the ground? I can 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 ones, 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
