I never taught about leaving Izmir after I graduated from high school. I wanted to attend a high-quality university to help me steer my future in the right direction and keep my current lifestyle intact. Izmir University of Economics served this purpose perfectly. I graduated in 2007 from a university which helped me build rock-solid friendships in addition to providing me with extensive knowledge and experience very much needed for my career.

When I first stepped into Izmir University of Economics in 2007 I said to myself “What am I doing here?” One of the main reasons for that was the fact that I was a professional football player at Manisaspor Club, then known as Vestel Manisaspor. I got transferred to Ispartaspor after an accident, and when I came back I took a dislike to football due to some events I witnessed. I always felt a little remorseful because of leaving football because I was going to have a totally different life. Izmir Economics was the newest of my new life…

Izmir University of Economics became the place I missed a lot in a short period of time, the place that I wanted to come back again and again. Without a doubt I missed my University, in which I grew up with the academicians who are experts in their fields, a lot. Think about a place there is no hierarchy, what can I tell, instructors that want to support you all the time, Spanish instructor whose concert we attended to, or head of our department with whom we had tea in the cafeteria together?

I graduated from Izmir University of Economics, Department of Psychology as an honor student. Thanks to the international perspective that my school brought me, and my identity as a researcher to follow different cultures continuously, I started working in the field I wanted in a short time. During this time, both my professors and career guidance center had undeniable and valuable contributions.
