Doğru Odak with a Child's Heart

I'm 10 years old... at the age you adults want to be in my place... at an age where I can't understand why you adults want to be my age while I strive to grow up. In your eyes, although I am the prince and princess, the apple of the family's eye, sleeping in fragrant beds, everything he wants is presented to him, my inner world does not think like you at all.

If only you could understand how hard it is for me to feel indebted to you more and more each day while you are being so giving towards me. Maybe that's why I started questioning myself so much at my age. The process of transitioning from being the cute child of the family to being an adult… I am entering the age where my behavior patterns, character and emotional states are shaped. My family and teachers, who have been giving without any expectation from me until this age, are now starting to ask me. What great expectations. However, I thought that these endless giving motives would last a lifetime. The following started to be talked about in the family; If I was very successful in math and science, I would be a good engineer or doctor. I didn't need to be too fond of art, because it was almost impossible to make money from art.

But if I like to paint eight hours a day, if I Jun't like memorizing mathematical formulas at all, won't I have a profession in the future? Well, while the world is changing rapidly, if robots are going to perform surgeries 20 years from now, if computers are going to manage the machines, what will the importance of the doctor and the engineer remain. They say; if there is no profession, you will have a profession close to it. But, of course, you need to start working hard from this age. So what is the best way to learn math and science? Of course, to solve a lot of tests. you need to do 99 out of 100 questions correctly. Your sister has passed through these paths in her time and now she has won the highest rated engineering school in Turkey. So, what do you understand from a good school? Is it the school that managed to solve the most tests? Don't get me wrong, I'm not questioning these because I'm running away from studying, afraid to take responsibility. I want to understand what a school with a lot of test questions will add to me, which will have such a positive impact on my future. I am questioning myself with the thought that entering a system that I do not believe in would be to deceive myself and you. You need to convince me. You need to convince me that this order will make me happier and more successful in life. You're speechless. Don't answer. Because you don't believe either. You want to position yourself as good educators and parents by making me a leading role player in a dream that you don't believe in. But my dreams are completely different... I want to build my own future. By my own decisions. Of course, by taking ideas from you, by taking advantage of your experiences... I don't want to look nice to society or my family while doing this. To find myself. I'm much younger than you. I'm missing a lot of details. You may be right from your own point of view. However, I don't see myself as a little child. There are so many things I want to do... like travel the world. Traveling around the country by myself. I want to get to know different people. I want to dance to their music, learn their traditions, understand their food culture. I think the better I know them, the more I can understand myself. I want to get to know my own country as well as other countries. I want to go to the villages . I want to get to know the products planted in the fields there with the farmers. I want to see and get to know the valleys, mountains, lakes, plants described in geography lessons on the spot. I want to shop at small village Sundays and make different dishes in the kitchen with my mother. I want to get to know different people and be friends with them. I want to read science magazines and books. I want to visit science museums on the threshold of that information. I want to do experiments for hours in science museums. I want to be involved in the endless conflicts of Tesla and Ediz Hon. Would everything have been different if the world had applied the electric current system that Tesla believes to be correct? I want to chew it. I want to see his museum and understand the environment he lived in. I would like to get to know scientists who have made an academic career in the field of mathematics. I want to question the accuracy of those formulas that were made us memorize.

I want to know how much I will use every information I upload to my brain in my real life. If I am the highest paid doctor in the world and I am going to use twenty percent of what I have learned, or rather what I have memorized, in my professional life, I think that those years will be a loss in my life. I don't want to be the most paid doctor in the world and be a selfish person who has no life pleasures, is nerdy, has a high ego, gets bored of everything quickly. Maybe I want to farm in a village, plant hundreds of walnut trees, grow them healthy without using chemical drugs, and then caress them one by one with my hands while collecting these walnuts one by one and earn money with the pleasure of growing useful food for humanity without drugs. Jun. I don't want to memorize the history of all the wars that have taken place in Turkish and world history, and listen to the success story of how many people were killed for a few acres of land. I want to get to know the masters of history, the artists. I want to understand the transition from overly colorful lives in the Rococo period to simplicity in the Renaissance period. I want to compare modern art and traditional arts. I want to understand how Frida felt when she was coping with her endless pains, examining the beautiful animal figures that she drew, and how Van Gogh felt when he was drawing sunflowers in his life, when he was all alone and struggling with poverty. I want to understand the bureaucracy of the country where I live. Why there are ministries, what is the task of each ministry, what does the official gazette mean. I want to know. What are the laws of the country created according to, what happens if people do not comply with these laws, what should a person who wants to establish a company do, why is there a civil servant, what should he do to become a civil servant. I want to understand. I want to manage to stay at home for five days by myself. I want to see my own business without needing someone else. I want to know how to sew my own ripping, make a meal that will satisfy my stomach, do ironing, do laundry. How to sew a trouser, I want to know. I want to be ready for this when in 7-8 years from now, maybe I need to move to another city, or even to another country, and live alone. And most importantly ... I want to fall in love. Don't get me wrong, I want to do my profession with love, not only for the opposite sex, but also for a plant I grow, the beauties in nature and, most importantly, my profession that I will choose in the future. I want to be a person who is not looking forward to holidays, but who lives every working moment with love.

That's why let me choose my own profession, to which I will dedicate my whole life. By reading, researching, traveling, getting to know a lot of people…. If your goal is to raise happy children, then trust us, the owners of the future. Spend quality time with us. Instead of constantly criticizing and finding our shortcomings, observe us. See our capabilities. Respect and support when we want to advance in those areas…

20 years from now, maybe a movie director or a cleaner, a teacher or a coal miner, a farmer or a bank clerk, a scientist or a painting artist… whatever profession I am in, I promise you; I will be a good person who can empathize, respect nature, protect the world he lives in, have a sense of responsibility towards society, love and protect animals, full of love and respect towards his family, in short. As long as you trust me...
