When looking at the human history, we see that some communities recorded development in many fields more easily; to greater extent; while some others couldnt take any step and became just an unimportant one for the present and future of the world. For my opinion; the first step to be taken for accelerating the development of a nation is 'giving value to humans'!! Only when we value people, see them as individuals needing different things or having various features and interests can we contribute greatly to their personal development and so to the development of that nation. We can perseive a nation as a mechanism consisting of many parts ; individuals ! If the mechanism has problems in working, then it means that a part of it is inefficient in functioning properly. All the same, if a nation has some problems inside, then can be a sign to lack of necessities needed to be taken care; need to be met ; so that they can improve themselves in many ways, they can improve their abilities for the benefit of first themselves and then for their familias and their nationsç Individuals are so important ; they are the future ıf a nation, they are the reason why all the systems are made. If a nation can succeed in realising all these things; it becomes more developed in many fields than the ones with inefficient understanding of 'the value of humans and the need for good education!' Developed nations has power to make the way of the world, rule the whole world in many aspects from culture to politics; on the other hand; underdeveloped countries are exploited in many ways and have no right to decide over world issues; not even on their own issues...
To sum up; for development; education is a must!!! Individuals are the center of everything that is to be done and education must be valued more than anything !!

..Sweet Home..

This is the first time I m writing such a thing since the time I started univercity. I always though that (still I do indeed) we are alive, we have lots of things to achieve and as we have chance and time we should concentrate on them. With these things in mind, I wasnt much concerned with my being away from my home very much. I made believe to myself that this was a normal period of life and I should learn how to do on my own, I should be able to make my dreams come true ; it would be nonsense to cry or be sad because of being away from home and everything was as I thought they would be; I had no difficulty in fitting into my new life, having new friends or etc. Even if I had some problems, I could endure and solve on my own.. But to tell the truth, as days passed, the feelings I restrainted started to gather and I felt great desire to go home back, I misses my life at home soo much and looked for the day to come back home to come as soon as possible!!
Now I m at home and I really enjoy and like while I m here..I love my family soo much and right now I dont want to go back to Metu :sL I m happy here :D But when I think about the days I studied for university and the challenging OSS and YDS times; I say to myself; ‘’No you should do what to do and enjoy your time at home; then you should go back to Metu. Yeah home sweet home; life is great here; but I love Metu so much too; no need to think over them again and again’
I dont know yet when I ll go home again ; all I know is that both Metu and my home are my ‘sweet homes’ and I should learn to have two homes a the same time..No matter what; life is bautiful and Thank God for all the things we have :)

..Be Open-Minded..

Somehow people have to learn how to live together and as the technologhy advances,the size of world in our minds gets smaller ; people can reach each other much faster, communication is much easier and relations between people no matter from which origin, race or religion etc. Becomes much more important. For me, different people, different cultures or different things make our world much more beautiful..Differences are must for variety and we can learn friendship with the help of it. Sometimes i imagine the world as a place where everyone is almost the same; speaking the same language, wearing same clothes, having the same aims and way of lives..The world would be like a big village.. Considerig them all, I believe that the diversities are so important in our lives and we shold learn how to respect and appreciate them. If we can not manage to do this, in this world it would be really challanging for us to maintain a high level of brothership with people, get along with them and adapt to different lives in different places. All I want to say is that only when we can be open-minded, can we contribute to the beauty of our world in modern and real meaning..
