IT teacher , Project manager
-How did I get here?
I have been a teacher for 13 years and a project manager for 7 years. I have worked in different disciplines of different fields such as adult education, adolescent education, disadvantaged group education. At the beginning of my career, I always evaluated myself in 2 ways; teacher and IT specialist. When the concept of "entrepreneurship" entered my life, I realised that limiting life with areas brings narrowing, not specialisation. Today, I owe where my career is today to mixing different disciplines with each other.
- Tell how your career started. Share someone about your formal and non formal education.
I graduated from the department of numeric information in high school and from the department of computer teaching in university. I gained most of the technical knowledge required for teaching in this way. But I have always been a teacher-student in order to renew and improve my knowledge. I tried to participate in online trainings, all kinds of books, films, seminars, etc. related to my profession. I have adopted the cycle of learning, teaching what I have learned and updating what I have learned over and over again. I have learned to communicate properly with people and especially with adolescents who are my students, mainly through my experiences.
-3 advice I would give my 20-year old self.
Life is neither all work nor all fun. The relationship between these two siblings is always interdependent. If you find the balance between them, you will enjoy both of them, if not, they are both a waste of time.
Do not underestimate any book you have read, any place you have travelled, any experience you have gone through. Even if you don't realise it, the foundations that make you who you are lie here.
Turn your ideas into action. Your unused potential energies may have an expiry date.
