ORIGIN: I'm a Computer Engineer, Educator, and Entrepreneur currently studying in Turkey. Over the past few years, I’ve been on a journey to build a future where I can create meaningful work, help others, and build real stability for myself and those I care about. Right now, my main focus is finding a company in Turkey that can sponsor me, so I can secure citizenship and have a sense of belonging and long-term security.
At the same time, I’ve built an online community for high school students preparing for the Digital SAT. What started as just a simple idea to help students improve their math scores has turned into something bigger: a growing space where I get to guide, mentor, and watch students unlock new opportunities for their futures. This gives me purpose, and my hope is to keep expanding it into something that impacts thousands of students worldwide while allowing me to create the life I've always dreamed of.
DESIRED FUTURE STATE: I want freedom. Freedom to live anywhere, work from anywhere, and build something meaningful without constantly worrying about visas, borders, or instability. My goal is to grow my community into a business generating $100K MRR, creating a stable that allows me to live life on my own terms.
WHY: I want to create a life where I’m not limited by borders, finances, or circumstances. I want my work to directly improve people’s lives. At the same time, I want to provide for my family, give back to those who believed in me, and prove to myself that I can turn my dreams into reality.
FEARS: The waiting game — things not happening as fast as I hope. Losing momentum. Burning out by trying to do everything alone. Not knowing the “right” next move, but trying anyway. I also fear spending two more years trying to get Turkish citizenship and it not working out (explained in the video in the comments).
