Hello… Here comes Rukiye

26 Oct Hello… Here comes Rukiye

Hi there! I am Rukiye from Turkey. A fresh graduate from Istanbul University Department of English Translation and Interpreting. The new volunteer of IFALL from abroad.

I was born in Kuşadası, a famous summer holiday destination on the west coast of Turkey. After spending my childhood in this small town, I moved to Istanbul, the city I fell in love at first sight. I was accepted to the oldest university of Turkey; and as this was not enough, I had the chance to live for four years in a dormitory at the heart of Old Istanbul.

I have always loved discovering new cultures and countries, and also meeting new people. So, while in university, I participated in different national voluntary projects, and international trainings and exchanges. All these gave me the chance to see what could be done more to support local people in many different areas; to understand the differences between cultures and communities; to be able to see a person as a person by trying to remove stereotypes in my mind. I have always loved helping the ones in need and encouraging people so that they can use their potential; thus all these also made me happy because I did what I wanted. And this feels great! So, all the things above (and some more that I did not mention here as it would take pages 🙂 ) are what brought me here in Örkelljunga.

Hope to meet you someday if you are reading this and living in Örkelljunga at the same time! 🙂

And if these are a little too out there for you
