Before Venture Warrior, I said; If they told me that the best gift I could give myself would be to get me through the hardest and most exciting days of my life, I’m sure I wouldn’t find it logical. But, even at the beginning of the adaptation training, I realized that I had gifted myself the best gift.

For example, I gifted myself a university, where I studied every department. I took courses from every department at this university. I met the best instructors I could possibly meet, and it was at this university that I filled my pockets. I kept a piece from every branch of science and art. I took a piece from someone’s life story, someone’s work, and someone’s character and put it in my pocket.

I gifted myself an idea, I can change the world. In a place where I could get support the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more I received support.

I gifted myself a job, a job where I can live my dream life after graduating from my department. In one place, not what is put in front of me; I will always be able to seek more, anywhere in the world. It’s a job where I can do whatever I believe in.

I have gifted myself with many wonderful friendships and collaborations that I can look for at every bump. I met people who I could support and support in every difficulty, both business-wise and psychologically. I talked, brainstormed, discussed, produced together.

I gifted myself a new me, my boundaries are far beyond the walls I thought they were. I discovered that what I thought was my weakness was my strongest feature. I got stronger and stronger. I endured the things I said I couldn’t bear. I learned to live in uncertainty and create comfort in discomfort.

And most importantly, I gifted myself a new world. It would be very difficult for me to believe in this world without living it, but I entered it, I lived, I fell, I got up, I didn’t sleep, I didn’t stop, I didn’t wait and I graduated. This world is both within the existing world order and against the existing world order. A fair, strong, hard-working world!

I gave myself the best gift by becoming an Venture Warrior at the age of 22!

Now I do what is necessary in this world, my new self, this school, this team.
