My passion and interest in cars started when I saw my grandfather's American cars for the first time. I was two or three years old! Ever since first grade, I have been at the head of my class regarding my knowledge about vehicles.
My family saw my interest in cars and this subject in general. While I was preparing for high school, they told me about the Anatolian Technical High School, which is where I am currently studying. I had told my family that I would go if I received training in the field of motor vehicle technology.
At that moment, I decided to spend my life in the automotive industry. First, I got involved in a project organised by TÜBİTAK (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) and then a project for TEKNOFEST (Turkey’s largest technology festival, the Teknofest Aerospace and Technology Festival), and made it to the finals with both projects. Our TEKNOFEST project in Istanbul came in first in the nationwide finals.
I am currently in my third year of high school, the 11th grade, and am learning German again thanks to my passion for automobiles because I want to go to university where I will study automotive engineering in the future.
