About Me

On a brisk April morning, I was born in Karamursel (Turkey), a very small town by the Sea of Marmara. My childhood was not extraordinary except several attempts to make money! I remember the days I organized my friends to have a street raffle by selling our old toys. With no cost, it was a very profitable business. Of course, salary was paid with ice-cream. This was my very first attempt in entrepreneurship. I was about 8.

I played handball in high school for 6 years. I was always scared that my hands were going to get bigger than normal because of it. Interestingly though, everywhere but my hands got bigger and bigger. Hmm. I was gaining weight regardless of intense training. There is one person to blame of course...My mom!! She is so good at cooking that you eat at a rate above your performance. No wonder I didn't have any boyfriends back then. Oh mom, that was your plan all along, right? :)

I always wanted to be an engineer. I got into Chemical Engineering in one of the best colleges in Turkey! It was no similar to organizing a raffle or playing handball. It was challenging, intense..But it was good, really good. It gave me analytical thinking power. I was able to see the big picture and be realistic by using quantitative skills. I am a proud engineer now..oh and I lost about 30 lbs :)

Aside from a diploma, college gave me my other half...My precious..I immediately fell in love with him. His smile means the world to me. Even his sole presence makes me feel so secure..Finally, I found my most peaceful place on earth: his shoulder.

And I am a mother to two #whydidIwaitthislongtohaveyou, #Icantimaginealifewithoutyou babies. Maya and Batu..I love you guys so much!

To be continued...as I get older...
