There were three women in the life of our director Ms. Esra that had inspired her. One of them is her mother who raised her three children single-headedly. While talking about her mother she emphasizes how powerful and hardworking she was and her work discipline. “When I was little, sometimes I missed my mother when she was at work…” she says, while expressing how she was proud of her mother back then, as well as today.

Then she adds smiling bitterly, just like every woman who has a profession. “We do the same. But it is necessary. Sometimes I think about my children. I suppose they are going to understand me too”. And joyfully she adds, “Both my sons say they are proud of me. Then I get so happy seeing that nothing I did is in vain, my efforts, devotion do not go down the drain. Seeing that my children understood this even at this age makes me feel that the thing I do is right and I will never regret it”.
