For the last
couple weeks I have been slowly but surely preparing for a presentation that I
will be giving at my job about Turkey. It will be bitter sweet because it is
also my last day working there because I have to get everything in order for my
move to South Carolina, where I will be a graduate student at Clemson
University. My job is at Somerby which is a retirement community in Hoover,
Alabama. They have a focus on master class living, which pretty much means that
they never stop learning. The VP there asked if I would give a talk about
Turkey, which I am very excited about. I am especially excited because of the
audience I feel I will be able to shake some misconceptions about the Middle
East, especially misconceptions that older white protestant Americans would
have.
In preparing for
my presentation I have discovered several blog drafts that I had wrote last
summer but never got around to posting, they are below. I also in a sense
rediscovered my blog and realized what a wasted opportunity it was. I have made
the decision to continue to write blog posts in regards to Turkey even though I
am not physically there anymore. I love the country and the culture so much
that I hope others would get as much joy reading about Turkey as I do writing
about it. I will also update on how my presentation went.
