Reflecting on the events of last year, it was a tumultuous ride filled with valuable lessons.

Recognizing Career Stagnation: I realized the importance of career growth and learning experiences, prompting my decision to leave a stagnant job despite being promoted from intern to full-time employee.

Adapting to Challenges: Transitioning to a remote job with a Turkey-based agency tested my resilience as I juggled long hours and academic commitments, ultimately learning to manage time effectively.

Embracing Opportunities: Attending Extreme Commerce Incubation Center proved fruitful as I networked and secured employment within a month, even gaining a client. Within three months, I ventured into entrepreneurship, seizing the opportunity for growth.

Navigating Challenges: Despite initial success, facing disagreement over contractual terms led me to leave the job. Nonetheless, I continued to offer my services, demonstrating adaptability and determination.

Perseverance Amidst Uncertainty: Despite facing unemployment, I persisted, managing my business, financial responsibilities, and studies. This journey taught me resilience and the belief that perseverance leads to eventual success.

This narrative serves as a testament to the resilience and growth that can emerge from navigating challenges, offering hope and encouragement for the future.

Reflecting on the trials and triumphs of last year, I’ve gleaned valuable insights into career, adaptability, seizing opportunities, navigating challenges, and perseverance amidst uncertainty. Each experience has shaped me and propelled me forward on my journey.
