4- Why did you become a teacher?
The most sacred proffesion is teaching because raising the future generations and
watching them coming good places gives a great feeling. Besides the most valuable
asset of the students we raise is they know Ataturk's principles and Turkish
Revolution and by that way they become a citizen who loves his/her country with no
doubt to protect it.
5-How did you benefit from this project?
The contribution of the erasmus project is that the students learn new things and
our students, teachers and our school gets presented to other countries. The thing
that Atatürk said "there's no sacrifice in education" gives us motivation more than
ever.
