Dear Scholarship Committee,
I am writing to express my interest in the Türkiye Bursları scholarship for the Computer Engineering programme.
When I was young, I struggled to focus in class. I often relied on myself to fully understand my lessons. As time passed, this struggle taught me how to self-learn: how to search for what I need, organize my studies, and progress independently. It also developed my passion for learning beyond academics. In middle school, I started learning Python and built small projects. I genuinely enjoyed coding, admiring how commands and logic translated into functional software.
In secondary school, my brother introduced me to competitive programming, explaining its importance in the field of programming and in strengthening my problem-solving skills. I decided to take a course to build a strong foundation that would help me continue learning independently. Since then, I have actively studied new algorithms and practiced consistently to improve my skills. I also participated in ECPC Teens and ACPC Girls.
My school announced an opportunity in which a limited number of students would be selected to participate in a well-known and costly robotics competition (Alamein Robotics Championship). My teammate and I worked hard and built a virtual robot. Out of 1,400 teams, we were selected as one of 14 to represent our country. We received a robotics kit and attended a robotics camp, where I applied my knowledge practically and worked on building and developing a real, functioning robot.
