Hi everyone,

I am a 9th grader in Uskudar American Academy and I am recently selected to IB program with Biology and Chemistry high levels. My intention is to have college education abroad in either marine biology, astrobiology or aerospace.

On top of having a high academic achievement, I also like doing social community work in a major NGO uninterruptedly since 3 years where I tutor kids. I have the perseverance to do ballet since eleven years, five of which as a student in state ballet school. I have a curious mind to explore new and opposite looking physical and mental things such as Girls Football, Debate and IT. I also won Digital Storytelling, DISTCO, international winner award last year and I have been selected as "honorable mention" in the international category this year in the same competition.

I like nature as well. I do hiking and sailing and I’d love to have a live experience to learn from others and interact with young people at my age in an international academic environment. This way I can know what I don’t know yet, broaden experiences and enhance my skills.

I strongly feel LAJF program will facilitate my aspirations. Having my education with dual scholarship (both academic and financial) since five years, it would be impossible for me to enroll into a summer school in US and LAJF has provided me everything I dreamt of including flight ticket

I thank everyone who helped fulfill my dreams by generous hearts and I hope to be like you one day when I grow up.

Thank you
