I am Aydın Yılmazer. I am currently a faculty member in the Recreation Management Department of the Faculty of Tourism at Sakarya University of Applied Sciences. I am also a vocational school graduate. My dream was to be an engineer, and to be an educator.
I followed my dreams. I graduated at the top of my class as an electrician from the electrical department of Sapanca Industrial Vocational High Schoo l.. Non-vocational high schools are important, education is important, but a profession, on the other hand, improves a person and builds character.
This should set an example to youth: vocational high school graduates can easily become professors. I worked in municipal administration until 2004, when I received a doctoral degree, a PhD, with God’s will and started to work at a university.
After receiving a nomination as a candidate for service in the municipality of Sapanca, in 2013 I became the mayor of Sapanca. I served as mayor for five years.
My next goal is to write books in my field that will be benefit society, primarily youth.
