WELCOME TO PAÞA'S
REALITY
!
WHO
AM I?
WHY
AM I HERE?
WHERE
DO I COME FROM?
WHERE
DO I GO TO?
WHERE
DOES TIME FLOW FROM?
WHERE
DOES TIME FLOW TO?
WHAT
DOES THE PLACE I LIVE ON?
DOES
THE SPACE I LIVE IN REALLY EXIST?
ONCE
ONE COMES INTO EXISTENCE, OTHERS ARE HAPPY BUT HE IS UNHAPPY.
WHEN
HE DIES OTHERS ARE NOT HAPPY, BUT HE IS HAPPY.
WHY
IS THIS SO?
I AM "PAÞA". I THINK MY NAME IMPLIES
EVERYTHING. SO I WAS GIVEN BIRTH IN
A KNOWN PLACE AND DATE.
THEY CAN BE IMPORTANT JUST FOR ME. AFTER FOR
A WHILE, NAMELY LITTLE ME, I WAS SENT TO PRIMARY
SCHOOL. AFTER SPENDING
MY VERY LOVELY 5 YEARS IN THAT PLACE, I WAS ALSO SENT TO SECONDARY
SCHOOL ( IS THIS A DESTINY FOR EVERY TURKISH CHILD?). AFTER WASTING MY
8 (EIGHT) YEARS ( THAT I COULD DO EVERYTHING RELATED WITH THIS TOTAL EDUCATION
IN 3 YEARS, BUT WE HAD STRICT RULES WHICH COULD NOT ALLOW ME TO JUMP OVER
THE OLD STYLE EDUCATION ). BUT I AM SO DETERMINED THAT I WOULD CLIMB THE
LADDER OF LIFE STEP BY STEP. WHEN I BEGAN THE HIGH SCHOOL ( WHICH TURKS
NAME IT AS "LÝSE" )I WAS JUST 13 ( THIRTEEN ) YEARS OLD. I BEGAN
KABATAÞ BOY'S LYCEE ( WHICH TURKS NAME IT AS "KABATAÞ
ERKEK LÝSESÝ", EVEN THOUGH IT NO LONGER IS BOY'S LYCEE
) BY THE SCHOLARSHIP OF "TÜBÝTAK"
( INSTITUTION OF TURKISH SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL RESEARCHES ). WITHOUT
DECREASING MY ACCELERATION, I FINISHED BOY'S LYCEE IN TOTALLY THREE YEARS
( I SWEAR, ONLY IN THREE YEARS ). I ALREADY GOT USED TO TAKE GENERAL EXAMINATIONS
LIKE ANATOLIAN, AND SCIENCE LYCEE, TÜBÝTAK. SO IT WAS NOT SURPRISE
TO BE PLACED IN PHYSICS DEPARTMENT AT BOÐAZÝÇÝ
UNIVERSITY. AFTER COMBATTING WITH THE WHOLE THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF
PHYSICS ( WHICH I EXPECTED TO INVOLVE IN THE PHYSICAL SIDE OF THE EVENTS
AND MATTER, BUT THE REVERSE HAPPENED )FOR FIVE YEARS, I HAD NOT BEEN SATISFIED
SO THAT I DECIDED TO FINISH ONE MORE AND DIFFERENT UNIVERSITY. AND I WON
THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AT KOÇ
UNIVERSITY [ MOREOVER I WAS AT TOP 150 AMONG 800,000 ( EÝGHT
HUNDREDS THOUSANDS )IN THE UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE EXAMINATION,ÖSYM
]. THESE ARE THE UNIMPORTANT ANECDOTES IN MY POOR LIFE. I AM NOW SENIOR
IN THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AT KOÇ UNIVERSITY (
I DO NOT THINK THAT I WILL ATTEND A THIRD ONE. I AM SERIOUS, NOT MAKING
JOKE.. I AM FED UP ) . THIS IS THE VERY BRIEF LETTER OF MY CHRONOLOGICAL
LIFE. I HAD SO MUCH TO TELL YOU. BUT THE TIME, PLACE AND BEING ARE NOT
APPROPRIATE FOR IT. PROBABLY, ALL THE CAUSES COME TOGETHER, SO I CAN.
