"Throughout my tenure at Robert College, I have adhered to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's words, 'The truest guide in life is science; searching for a guide other than science is carelessness, ignorance, and a deviation from the right path,' as my guiding principle. In a world of constant change and development, I have strived to provide our students with a high-achieving and holistic learning journey, driven by the motto 'there is always room for improvement.' It is a profound honor and pleasure for me to be a member of this esteemed and established institution and to work with the young people who represent the bright future of our country."
