1. What could SCSU do to make your stay on campus better?
First of all, a university need popular activities to atract students attentions.These activities can be sports, trips, or other activities that entertain university students. There should be lots of places that students can meet and chat together such as carribbou coffee and food court. The organizations such as concerts, shows, or celebration for specific days should be more often. Concerts are always good way to entertain students. Every student all around the world likes to go concert, so this will make people happy .
2. Could you tell me a secret about yourself that very few people here know about and that shows us well, who you are and what you stand for?
I actually don`t have any secrets. Even if I do, I don`t know what it is. I`m not that kind of person. I can share everything with the people I know. I think it`s because of my family. They always speak out and never let anything stay secret even if it`s a bad thing.
3. Which country`s food do you like the most? What are the similarities and differences between it and your own culture`s food?
I like Turkish food. It`s totally same with my culture because I`m Turkish. :) The reason of this is I think it`s the most tasty, most delicious, and have unlimited number of food types. Also, Turkish foods and deserts are well-known all around the world. A few example for popular foods are Kebap (Food), Baklava (Desert), Turkish coffee(Drink).
4. What are the typical greetings in your culture and what do they mean?
The most common one is Selamun Aleykum. When someone said you this even if you don`t know the person you have to answer it. That`s a greeting that coming from Muslim culture. When someone say Selamun Aleykum the people who heard that have to say Aleykum Selam. It is something that really important for most of the people. Also, Arabic people have the same greeting. This is international greeting for Muslim people.
5. What kind of government is in charge of your home country, how did it affect your life and how has democracy in America been a change?
Turkey have democracy system. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk who is the found founder of Republic of Turkey declared democracy system in 1923. I`ve never seen any change because it was declared long long time ago. When you compare it to U.S. democracy system it`s the same. I`m not against any system but in my opinion democracy system is the best for MOST of the countries.
6. What different modes of transportation are used in your country?
In Turkey we have the same transportation vehicles with U.S.. Buses and trains are the most popular in short distance. In long distance usually people use planes. The reason of that is planes are cheaper to travel for long distance. Fuel prices are too high in my country so that people are trying another ways to travel cheaper.
7. At what age do you start school? Are you under a lot of stress in school??
I was 7 when I start my education. Since my childhood I didn`t like school. When I came to U.S. for study it isn`t that bad anymore. Anyways, I am always under a lot of stress in school. Because my parents want me to be successful and thats something you have to work on it. That makes it stressful.
8. What religious holidays or other cultural events do you or others celebrate; can you explain your traditions for each?
In my country we celebrate Kurban and Seker holy days. In Kurban we sacrifce for the name of the god and share the meat with the poor people. Seker holy day is kind of like cristmass. Kids are walking around and asks sugar from people. Also, older people gives money to kids to make them happy. It also happens in Kurban too. During these holy days most of the people who have money gives a family help and they give money to them.
8b Do you have any daily rituals in regards to your religious beliefs?
9. How would you describe famous sports in your country?
The famous sport in my country is Soccer. At least 80 percent of the citizens likes soccer. Fenerbahce has 25 million fans in Turkey. Galatasaray has 18 million and Besiktas has 15 million fans. Soccer is like our culture Turkish people likes to play and watch soccer for many many years. That`s a huge indistury by their-self.
10.Can you describe a typical day for a child in your country?
In my country they usually starts the day with a huge breakfast with a force of their mom. After that, they go outside and play soccer or other games with their neighborhoods. Usually when they get back home they are all in dirt and their mom will be angry for this. After they come back home they start watching cartoon and surfing on internet and playing games. Before the sleep parents always says their child to read book but they never read. :)) Also, they love texting with their friend espasially my brother is texting more then 200 sms per day.
