Living the Life You Dream

How did your academic development and personal improvement at Sabancı University translate to your outside life in terms of the ability to dream, being open to change, cou-rage and principles?

My job requires that I am able to dream, embrace change, and have courage. I was this kind of person before I entered Sabancı University. In fact, this was one of the reasons I chose this university.

Did you take part in any student clubs at Sabancı University? If you did, what did you gain?

I did not take active part in student clubs. I was attracted to the theatre club at one time, and the equestrian club. But then I realized I wasn’t the type to commit to something. I spent most of my non-school hours outside.

When you graduated from Sabancı University and were just starting your acting career, what were your dreams?

I had started to appear in commercials before graduation. As I was preparing for my final exams, I was playing in the Cesaretin Var mı Aşka mini-series already. I have always had acting on my mind. I’ve never dreamed about when and how I would succeed, but I always knew that I would make it.

Are you planning to pursue an acting career abroad thanks to the foreign language edu-cation and multicultural environment of Sabancı University?

One of the many things I gained at Sabancı was the foreign languages I learned. I took 4 courses in Japanese and 2 in Spanish. I want to continue developing my Spanish; after all, Spain does have a strong movie industry.
