THE BOAT

On Sunday, we decided to go fishing. My father had bought a boat and we were going to go  fishing for the first time. I was so excited and happy. But when we went to see the boat, we realized that the boat was too small for all of us, also there was no other boat. So we needed a plan. Finally we decided to take out most of the items in the boat, this way we were able to get in and went to the lake. During our trip my father caught a lot of fish and my mum made us delicious sandwiches. My little brother and I played fun games together. It was one of the best days of my life.

Sunset

It’s a wonderful evening. A light wind is blowing. I see a beautiful sunset. The rays of the sun are falling on me and my friend's hair. We are going down the street eating ice cream. A street musician is playing «Demiz Üstü Köpürür». A little girl is dancing next to him. We notice a beautiful café and the fountain next to it. There are a lot of cute shops with souvenirs. There are some clouds in the sky. The first star appears in it. We are happy. It's a pleasant evening.

INNOCENT SPARKLING AZURE BEAUTIFUL SEA

I woke up very happy this morning. Because reports were taken. When I got up from my bed and opened my window, the chirping of birds started. It was as if they overlapped with each other, accompanied by music. On the other hand, I was very upset that the school was going to close. I was going to miss my friends, my teachers. But I was excited to meet in another classroom. While grappling with these thoughts, I also realized that I had to prepare. I washed my face, put on my apron, and met with my family at the breakfast table. My family gave me a nice surprise news. I learned that we will go to Fethiye for vacation and the rate is very good. I got even more excited. 

My service came and picked me up from home. When we came to school, we said goodbye to my friends and teachers and returned home. I also made my family happy with my report card. My mother said that we will leave on Saturday and that I have to get ready immediately. The next day, we set out early in the morning.I loved the sea very much. It was taking people to deep beauty with its deep blue cover. Our journey lasted 1 day. We came to Fethiye on Sunday. I wanted to swim right away. 

After settling down, we went to the sea. It was so beautiful that when he said my feet he took me away from me. There were foam soaps on it. I loved jumping over waves near the shore. I rest humming people. He was like a calm innocent child. It had a different beauty every time I entered. There were small colored pebbles in it. It seemed to contain a colorful world.

 We had come to the end of the holiday. But I didn't want it to end. We promised to come next year with my family. Now it was time to say goodbye to the beautiful sea with deep blue foam soap. Goodbye innocent sparkling azure beautiful sea.

I love music

Living through music is more than an art. And when there are no more words, it's the music that speaks for you. Music conveys a story, and each of us is a story that needs to be heard. Everything is a story when it comes to music.    No technique, notes, changes of position, or other incomprehensible mechanical-artificial components. Just stories.  And pictures. And miss. Because music is missed. It is that longing that constantly consumes you, like an unquenchable thirst and that you can only soothe by singing. And sometimes not. That if you had to turn it off completely, it would mean never stopping singing again. And that wouldn't be bad in fact; you can only do it after - after life. To enter your state, the one from which you were born, in a trance without time and space, where you only breathe music. Great love or your true nature.

Turkey, The Cradle Of Stories

With thousands of years of history and a lively contemporary culture, Turkey has plenty to keep visitors occupied. But a day trip to nearby beaches, forests and sleepier towns and around the Marmara and Black Seas serves as a welcome break from the concrete jungle. History buffs will especially enjoy venturing further a field to Edirne, a border city with a rich architectural heritage.

John and I had never been to Turkey. We decided to take the plunge and travel all over the country to immerse ourselves in the culture. A lot of our family members and friends were nervous given the travel warnings in Turkey right now, but we researched, prepared and were excited about what we knew would be an amazing trip. We started our trip in Cappadochia for three days, spent two days in Istanbul, sailed the coast from Antalya to Oludeniz and visited Pamukkale. Turkey has some of the friendliest people we've ever met, the most diverse terrain and some of the tastiest food you'll ever eat.

Colors of Autumn

Autumn. Something pops in  to my eyes. How can I describe it ...It's like they put a brush in my hand and a canvas in front of me. Orange and red. Green and blue. Those beautiful trees where all shades of orange, red and yellow meet. The grass is also yellow, but there are light greenery. Autumn has not yet taken over the nature completely. When I turn around I see a waterfall. It is a waterfall that contains every shade of blue. A beautiful view. Or they put a pen and paper in my hand, they say write. The pen slips on the paper. I am writing, I am writing. I am telling about my feelings. I'm pouring out. A melody in my ears. Sad. But I'm happy. I am at peace

Dream Sand Goals

An elementary school student Ali asked his teacher one day, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" He could not answer his question because he did not have a goal. He thought a lot about it on  the way home after school that day and finally determined what he wanted to be. He said that the next day he would be a guide to his teacher in the classroom. His teacher gave him a piece of advice. His advice was, "It is very nice to set your goal, but the important thing is to achieve this goal by working hard." said. Ali did not care much about it at that time ...So years passed. Ali was now a senior university student. Months before he took the exam, he bought a book and started taking a test. ..days passed like this. The exam day has come. Ali was very excited. After a few days, the results were announced. Ali became the profession he wanted, but that was not enough for him because he wanted to introduce countries rather than promoting those provinces. 

One day he was promoting a place again when a man appeared before him. They talked to him. Ali said his dream. This man said that Ali would make his dream come true, but Ali had to quit his profession for this. Of course, because Ali's mind wanted to introduce the countries, he immediately accepted this offer. The next day they went to their north western country, Germany. Ali started to do his job, but things didn't go well because he had a language problem. In less than a week, Ali returned to his country. The next time he could not do business because he had resigned. Ali started to have a very difficult time. During one of these difficult days, he remembered the advice of his teacher at the age of primary school, and he was very sad.

Cloud

While walking on the road, I came across a small cat. He looked a little sad and was staring somewhere. I wondered why this little cat was so upset and looked around a little more. And I realized that his mother died from being hurt by bad people. This really upset me. I do not understand how they break such a beautiful creature. Now that little puppy was left without a mother. What would those who killed his mother not do to this little puppy? The streets were dangerous for him. I was so sorry for the kitten and I didn't want to leave it like that. I decided to own it and look after it. After taking her to the vet and getting her vaccinations, she could now live with me. I took him to my house. Pity the little kitty was still very upset, but she quickly got used to me and understood that I was well-intentioned, but I could still feel she was missing her own mother. 

Being a motherless thing must be a very bad thing. Since the little puppy would live with me now, I should have given him a name, a name worthy of him. I had decided to name him Bulut. Because those white fluffy feathers gave him the look of a cloud. I prepared a soft bed in the cloud so that he could sleep comfortably at night. The cloud got used to me quite a bit and it seems not as sad as it used to be.

FATHERLAND LOVE

Once upon a time there was a young man named Ali who lived in one of the villages of Anatolia. He was known in the village for his honor, youth and mercy. Everybody respects him when he walks through a street, even big men have button-up buttons in front of him. Of course, Ali would always feel uncomfortable with such a situation, and he would always show his respect by kissing the hands of his elders who were buttoning in front of him. There would not be too much trouble in the village where the enemies were located. Ali lived with his ailing mother in a dilapidated single-storey house with a small garden. He lost his father as a child and has always felt the lack of it. Because at a young age, she had to take care of her sick mother and bring bread to her home. This is where our Ali is already compassionate. He has fulfilled his adoptive duty that no one has done. For one day, neither himself nor his mother needed anyone. No matter how much the  

people of the village wanted to help, he worked in various jobs in order not to be dependent on anyone, despite his young age, he did much bigger than himself. He did not make enough money for themselves and forget the needy. You know, they say, our heart is rich, Ali's heart is also very rich. Come time, Ali became a big boy. He always gets up and brews the tea because his mother is bedridden, he warms the water in my jug and washes his mother. He looked at his mother as if he were looking at a child.

 One morning, Ali finished the house chores and took his mother's blessing and left the house and started walking towards the village square. While her mother was reading the Quran in front of her window, her neighbors Ayşe Miss came to visit. After asking her neighbors about her condition, Ayşe Miss said:
 Ayşe Miss: - Fatma Miss, I am saying that your son is at the age of marriage. You know, our lady Saliha's daughter is very ladylike. Just according to Ali.How about you call that boy's mouth?
 Fatma Miss (Ali's Mother): - You said very right, Ayşe Miss. I also want my son to know his home and home. He's been looking  

at me since I was little. It is my biggest wish to have a home in it. Let me talk to an Ali. 

In the evening, Ali comes home and his mother tells Ali about this. Ali says to his mother whatever you see fit for his mother because of his upbringing. Ali and Saliha Miss's daughter talk to each other and get along. The girl has already liked Ali. They make a modest aim. Weeks passed. During this time, families get along well.

One morning Ali leaves the house to go to work again. While passing by the coffeehouse, he witnesses the conversation. He learns that the country is in a difficult situation, that the enemies are trying to enter the Aegean border and that the state needs soldiers.

Ali comes home without thinking for a minute and telling the situation to his mother. He says he will go to help his state. Of course, his mother is again proud of his child.

Fatma: - Go son, you have fulfilled the one who adopted me properly. Now you are going on your homeland mission. How happy to me. God says help and be your help. The day has come, 

everyone is saying goodbye to their family and loved ones. Of course, Ali has a mother and a fiancee. Turning to his fiancée:

- I know it's not easy to ask this from you. I want you to keep an eye on my mother until I come. It is not clear whether I will be going back. But if I don't go now, all of your lives are in danger. Know that for you, for my nation, for my country, I will fight to the last drop of my blood. May God be with you. 

On the way to the Aegean, Ali's mind is about the love of homeland in the heart of his loved ones. They approached the Aegean border and boarded a ship.The following lines were spilled from Ali's mouth:

"The sea froths hey dear rinnan nay rinna rinna nay 

If I get on the boat, it will take you hey dear hey

My coming to this world hey dear rinna nay rinna rinna nay

Because of a beauty hey dear heyy ”

When the border was reached, enemies were encountered and weapons exploded. Unfortunately, Ali came across the cruel enemy bullet and was shot from a place close to his heart. While 

all of his friends were fighting, nobody could help Ali, he just stayed alone. And when blood came from his mouth, he barely said the following sentences:

“Hey dear rinna nay rinna rinna nay from the sea sail

Time came early, hey dear hey

Hey in the middle of the sea my dear rinna nay rinna rinna nay

The candle lights at the table hey dear hey

Hey, my dear rinna nay rinna rinna nay, 

my departure from this world too

Hey, dear, from the love of the country, hey "

Ali was martyred while bringing his testimony from the war he fought with his love for the country. News went to the village and everyone was devastated.Her mother could not bear the pain of her son and passed away three days later.
