INTRODUCING MYSELF

I am Mehmet from Ankara,Turkey. I am 18 years old. I am studying English language teaching at one of best universities in Turkey , METU. I like dealing with languages , in fact ,even  learning a word in a day is my ambition , because it will be my business in near future.These are my personal features . I love being with my family and of course with my friends. Because of my being in dormitories for 5 years , mostly I want to be at home ,or live as if at home.Thanks to my friends supports , I don’t have difficulties so much. As everybody do , I like reading books especially historical and adventural ones.Listening joyful and sentimental musics are my other hobby.I am very ambitious , I’ve never given up to difficulties , particularly in exams because I like studying hard unlike people who don’t like it.Also i ile teaching  because it is my business’s requirement.I think that if somebody knows sometihng , she or he should teach it to the others , as the candles do.I like interacting with people , I easily meet them. Also I like finding solutions to problems.My other hobbies are playing tennis , basketball, watching football matches. My biggest dream is going to London ,or somewhere in Europe. Anyway , I really interested in etymology , because researching in vocabularies is very strange and joyful for me. I mad about Istanbul , just smelling the sea odour makes me better , i hope i will settle there in future.

acrostic

Years ago we were together

Once you seperated , I didn't want to live

Using all my belongings in vain.

And you were a liar , indeed

Regardless of your complaints

Everything could be perfect , if you were here.

Besides your eyes, your lips was wonderful

Expected feelings were so much that

About us everybody was respectful

U are the most beautiful

Till the end of our relationship

Immense emotions were disappeared

Fear about just breaking up

Use your body language as we did in the past

Levels of our love will again go up...

IMAGINE BY 'MEHMET GAZAN'

Imagine we were together again

It is possible if you love

No cliff below us

Above us only the lights of love

Imagine all the people

Who are love each other

Imagine there is no seperation

It isn't hard to be together again

Nothing to afraid or abstain

And no debate too

Imagine all the people

who are holding each other's hand

You may say I am a liar

But i am not the only one 

I hope someday you will understand me

And the world will turn for the sake of love.

Imagine noone except us 

It is funny if you can

No need for sadness or shame

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Who are respect each other

You may say I am an alone man

But i am not the only one

I hope you will find someone like me

And the world show you it's happiness...
