Your dreams are as close to you as you chase them.
I had the opportunity to write a thesis on a research topic that interested me deeply by starting the Master's program in the Department of Architecture at Izmir University of Economics. I always believed in myself thanks to my esteemed advisor, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Aslı Ceylan ÖNER, who supported me with her unconditional interest during the thesis work I have prepared with great pleasure. What could be more exciting for me?
After my master's education, I started doctorate program in the Department of Architecture at Bursa Uludağ University (BUU). Even though some people around me were concerned that I would not be admitted to the Architecture doctorate program because I had a degree in Interior Architecture and Environmental Design, the graduate education I received at IUE has paved the way for the Architecture doctorate program at BUU. In my first application to this doctoral program, I was accepted for a single quota.
The most beautiful thing in life is definitely that when someone thinks that you cannot reach your dream, and you are living that dream. Although I live in Bursa now, I always think about Assoc. Prof. Dr. Burkan PASİN, who inspired me with his vision as an academic, Architect Burçin AKOĞLU and Nazlı SÖZER, who supported my success with unconditional love. IUE not only paved the way for my achievements, but also, to, included people in my life whom I will never forget. Thank you, Izmir University of Economics, for showing me that I must follow my dreams with confidence and determination. Currently, I am a student with YOK 2000 doctoral scholarship at BUU. I have so many more dreams that I'm chasing. What about you?
