ESRA DURMAZ

I am Esra Durmaz. I am a student in METU in Faculty of Language Education. I am Konyalier. I normally live in Konya .However, I am staying in Ankara now. I am very determined people. I never give up. I do whatever I can to realize my dreams. No obstacle can halt me, when I really want something. My second feature is being very quiet. I am not active in   lessons .I am not enterprising. I am not talkative in friend conversation. I have some friends. I suppose that there is one important reason of it. I have a twins. She has been my best friend for years. We have never been seperated from each other in our life. I like be alone, because when I am alone, I think my troubles and find solutions of them. This makes me good. I feel relax. I like reading book much. Especially, before I sleep, I certainly read book. Love novels are my favourite. The novel which I like most is “Melekler Zamanı” written by Fatma Erdek.
I want to learn playing reed flute, because I like Sufizm musics. They make people think about themselves, world and God. They presence to people. I hate animals. I cannot bear none of them. Cats are especially disgusting. I am afraid of them.

I want to make my family happy and provide them with a better life. Additionaly, I want to work in consulate and to be a person that works international jobs. After I can manage them, I want to travel all around the world .I want to see different people, cultures. Especially, Arabic countries such as Dubai, Qatar, Bahreyn draw attention of mine. Morever, I want to live in Dubai with my family. I hope I can manage.

Years have passed without you,     

Obstacles separate us, true.

Unbearable pains couldn’t deter me, though,

Absence of yours made me strong.

Radiant, happy, hopeful

Eyes of yours are still in my memory,

Be patient! We will be cherry.

Endless happy days will be ours,

Almost it has been five years.

Unawares, we we’ll get together,

Tell our miracle love each other.

I’m waiting for you day and night,

Future can be ours! Try.

Untouched happiness is coming,

Love! Love! Love! Darling.
