I would start my own company. My company will be a newspaper company. I want to be newsman. It will be student newspaper, especially for Lise 3-4 and university students. It will contain education, sports, magazine, fashion newses. I will be for the youth. But I would like to use Özyeğin University’s name for my newspaper. First of all, I will go to rector, tell my project and want the name. I think he won’t accept, so I will say to him that I will give you some money from my profit, it can be % 20-30 and you can use this money to your university. In my opinion he will accept then. I can earn lots of money from this project. I have many ideas. First, my newspaper will be free. There are some newspaper like mine: GASTE and 20 DK. I had this idea before these newspaper hadn’t printed. But ı hadn’t enough money and ı couldn’t do. Anyway, secondly, I will deliver to schools and dersane. You can ask how will you earn lots of money. I will earn with advertisements. I will take adverts from dersane, private schools, sports stores, cafes, restaurants, especially NIKE, Starbucks, Mc Donalds, BURGER KING. Because the youth like them. You can ask how will you take adverts from them, they don’t know you and your newspaper. But, they knew the name: ÖZYEĞİN. I will use this name and it will help me very much. Thirdly, I don’t employ a graphic designer, because I am a designer. So, I dont spend much money. It is a good way. Maybe, I can employ 2 or 3 person to help me, find news, go to company to take adverts, etc. Finally, my newspaper will be weekly. Because the first reason is money ant the second one is news. I can’t find enough money for a daily newspaper. But, If I find a partner it will be daily. And I can’t find enough news. It is very difficult.

My job

I have a job in my life. I’m graphics designer in an agency which prepares newspapers, magazines, books, calenders, brochures, etc. Its name is Platin Agency. But, I can only work there at summers because of my school. I have been working there for 4 summers. When ı was graduated from middle school, my father’s friend who works at there said me this job. First, I didn’t accept his offer. Because I didn’t want to work, I wanted to go somewhere to take a holiday. But then ı thouht that ı can learn lots of thing at here and ı like designing, so I must go there. Finally, I went this agency with him. First day, I was very confused. Because I knew noone and nothing about Apple computer. But immediately ı met everyone. They were very friendly. All of them were older than me but they behaved me like my friend. I started to type some writings that day. I was very slow. I was typing with my 2 fingers. They were touching type. But after 1-2 weeks ı started to use my 10 fingers like them. And ı learned it after one month. I was the fastest staff in there. The other days, ı started to learn designing. I was observing them and trying to learn. I was working here 60 hours a week to learn this job. And end of first summer, I learned lots of things about designing. I learned to use Quark Xpress and Photoshop. But ı wasn’t expert. However now ı have been working here for 4 summers, and I can say “I’m expert at typing and using these programs.”
In addition, I go this agency to entertain. Because very funny customers come here. I have lots of stories about this agency. But now I want to tell you the best one: “Bombacı Adnan” This man is our customer. He is journalist and has a newspaper. This man is very very liar. But he is older than us so we can’t say anything to him. For example, one day ı was preparing his newspaper on my computer and he was next to me. He started to tell lies: “Burak, you know I am fan of Fenerbahçe. Yesterday, I and Aziz (Aziz Yıldırım-President of Fenerbahçe. He says “Aziz” J like a friend.) went to a restaurant and talked about Fenerbahçe. He drank a lot and started to hug and kiss me......” It is impossible. But I said him: “ Ooo... Aaaa. Vayy.. “ Because he is a customer and he is always right, says true. We call him Bombacı Adnan because of his lies. J

The most beautiful words I've ever read

NO WAR!...
I like these words. Because ı like peace. I don’t like word of “NO”, but in this sentence ı like it. Because it completes the meaning of sentence. I think, the most beautiful word is “peace”. I like this word. Peace must be the most important word in all language. Because it has a very good meaning. But a lot of people don’t like this word they say: war, war, war... I think, war is the biggest problem in the world. If everyone say: “NO WAR!..”, everyproblem will be solved. Because noproblem can be bigger than war. Everyone should be peaceful. If people live in peace and friendship they can solve everyproblem such as poverty, unhappiness, money, etc. Because they can understand their problems. In short say: No to war and yes to peace!
“Language is what separates people from animals.” I don’t agree with this following sentence. Because animals can also understand each other easily. They have a language to speak like us. I don’t know how do they do this but they can. So, language can’t separate people from animals. Maybe, our brain can do this. Because they can’t think, they don’t have intelligence.

Best trip of my life







My best trip is camping in Kefken, Kocaeli. I and my friends decided to go somewhere when we graduated Middle School. We were very stressful for 3 years because of OKS and we wanted to go to a holiday. Then, we met a friend’s home and arranged everything. We decided to go Kefken, Kocaeli for camping that is near the sea and there is a forest in here. First, made up a list which includes names of comings. There were 20 names with me in list and these men decided to stay 10 days with together. It was wonderful. Secondly, we rented a minibus for 10 days that was very difficult because noone could trust a man who is 14 years old. Then my best friend said to his brother this condition and persuaded him to come with us. We were pleased to hear that. His brother was 23 years old and we could rent a car by him. We wanted to stay in tent and we bought 11 tents which are for 2 people. Next, we bought a lot of food supplies for 10 days. It included some meat and chicken.
Finally, we agreed on a day and set out with our rented car. Don’t take it amiss, a 14 years old child didnt drive the car. We rented the minibus with a driver. Anyway, we reached Kefken about 3 hours. We found a place that was very expensive but we had to stay there because other places were full. The owner of this place like a fox, i didnt like him. Anyway, first of all we started to set up our rents we had good times while we were setting up. We could set up them for 2 hours after many tries. Then everybody entered their rents and started to sleep because we were very tired. It was our first day and we spent it with sleeping. We got up on evening. Everybody was hungry and immediately we made a fire for brazier. At 21:00, We finished cooking and prepared a good meal. At 21:20 There were nothing on the table. We ate everything on table because we were very hungry. Then we went to our rents and continued to sleep but we didnt extinguish the fire because the owner of place said to us “An animal can come here like snake, wolf, dog,fox,etc. You shouldnt extinguish it” I thought that he mentioned himself because he was like a fox, bad man.
The other days were wonderful. We got up at 8 o’clock, had breakfast, wandered the forest, swam, played footbal, volleyball,basketball. We used trees while playing these plays. We went to the rocky place which is shown on picture as you can see. Everyday we ate meal and chicken. We gave the other foods like spaghetti, vegetables, etc.
Everynight two men were duty near the fire. Sometimes it was frightening because of strange voices which were coming from the forest. All the mornings, someone got up with a painted face. This was a joke and it was made to everyone. The duties did this with a shoe dye. Someone was painted me on 4th day morning. I was very angry. But ı couldnt do anything and wait my turn. I had revenged on him after two days. I was very happy after that. Sense of revenge was very good.
And the last day was comen, we wanted to stay more but we couldnt because we didnt have any money. We spent all of them even we couldnt pay the whole money which were the owner’s. He cursed us more because of this. Finally, we put everything on the car and left from there. We didnt want but we had to did and we did.
Despite the last day, our trip was wonderful. I spent very good times with my friends during camp. The holiday that i went with my friends was very very amusing. I am sure, if i had gone lonely or with my family it couldn’t be like this trip.

Hi everybody! I am Burak Turunç. I’m from Elazığ.ı was born in İstanbul and live in İstanbul with my family for now. I am 18 years old. I graduated from Şehremini High School and choiced Ozyegin University. Now I am here. I am a junior partner of Ozyegin University. My family includes 5 people. I have one sister and brother. My sister is older than me and she is 23 years old. She is student. My brother is younger than me he is 2 years old. He is very sweet but we cant cope with him. We should be on foot every time to cope with him. If not ı think he can demolish the building. And ı am the middle child. My father is a journalist. He is 46 years old and my mother is housewife who is the best person in my life is 46 years old.
About my life, I like playing football, listening to music, surfing the Internet, chatting with my friends, meeting new friends, watching football matches especially Beşiktaş’s matches, going Inonu Stadium, playing computer games, playing PS. Football is the best thing in my life for now. I dont know the future. My favourite team is Beşiktaş as you understand. I hate Fenerbahçe. J I cant think Beşiktaş in every condution. But my family doesnt like this. My father and mother say: “ You should study very much. Forget about Beşiktaş and football.” But ı dont listen to them. I play football and want to be choiced in school team. But there is a slit and oedema in my knee.
I think ı am very lucky person. Because I didnt hope that ı can come Ozyegin University. But ı came here and ı am very happy now. I met new friends and will meet the others. It is wonderful about me. Because ı am very friendly. I am a extrovert person. I cant live if ı dont have any friend. I think that friends are a life and you should enter this life. If someone asks me: “Can you describe yourself to me?” I use theese words: funny, energetic, friendly, sociable, talkative, sport-lover, self-confident. But sometimes, ı can be very angry and stressed. This is my negative side. I can tell myself in my word: energetic.
According to the personality quiz ı am an Type A.
No one who knows you thinks of you as anything but an A type. You are driven, busier than most people, the hub of many circles, and you work hard, late and aggressively. Your loved ones are always trying to get you to slow down and relax, but it's hard for you to do. You feel most alive when you are working, succeeding and being rewarded for your efforts.

My first day of Özyeğin University

Today is my first day of Özyeğin. Today is wonderful. Today is good. My opinions were very different yesterday morning. I thought that: “The first day is always be boring. You dont know anyone. Everyone looks each other with curious eyes. Maybe you meet new friends at future times.” But I should be very lucky. Because I met a teacher who is like my friend. Yes, yes. As if he is like my friend. He is very funny. He hates Fenerbahçe. He is very honest. He gave us a short information about his life. Not only good memory. He mentioned all of them negatives and positives. I liked him very much. He is interesting man. At first day, at first lesson I met everyone in my class. We done a study with him and ı met everyone at first day not future times. He is very successful teacher. I think we will pass good times with him. Oooo I didn’t say his name. His name is Aaron Rotsinger. He calls me “Orange” because of my surname. He calls all of us with our surnames.

After Aaron, Nergis Enmutlu came, I liked her too. But she talks very quickly. She can say five words in one second. I think she should talk a bit slowly at first weeks like Aaron who hates Fenerbahçe and its stadium and its everything :)

And we met Elif Kandemir afternoon. But not much. I only know her name. But she is sympathetic person. We can know some things about herself on Friday she said.

İn conclusion, ı am very happy today and will be happy at future times ı think.
