I took my first step towards vocational education in high school. During my high school years, I worked in the field and received a lot of support from my teachers.
I also took first place in the exams held in the districts and cities in which I lived. I loved my department and, after being a successful student, I graduated from high school at the top of my class.
After high school, I earned a position at Ankara Gazi University. After the vocational teaching education I received there, I completed my Master's degree with a thesis at the Institute of Science.
I was appointed as a teacher to a vocational high school in Gaziantep, an honour because I scored the highest in my field in all of Turkey on the university exams.
Currently, I am a teacher in a very nice vocational high school in Gaziantep, doing my dream job. I also established a small woodworking workshop at the Science and Art Centre in Gaziantep, where I teach my profession to gifted students.
