When it comes to moving abroad, it’s a tough decision for a high school student but i researched on it since my freshman year to improve my education and life quality. I studied English since middle school like it’s my main language. I want to study aviation to become a successful pilot. In Turkey the facilities are not beneficial like the ones in United States. Also I’m a social person and I have a lot of social activity other than academics such as playing several musical instruments, singing, drawing, sailing and so on. But in my country these are not important for a students acceptance in a university. Playing volleyball is one of them. I put a lot of effort on it and I still do. I started playing volleyball first in Fenerbahçe at the age of 10. Ever since I always love the game and enjoy every minute of it. I spend every training to improve my play. Because of all these, I want to combine my social work and academics to get a good education without making a decision between sports and academics. My goal is to come to the best place I can come, both in sports and in lessons.
