Blog, I honestly do not know how to start this so I will just go right ahead. My name is Aurora Sera Unal. I am 17 years old and I obviously go to Raha International School. I have lived in many countries such as Izmir Turkey, Girne Cyprus, Eskisehir Turkey, Abu Dhabi UAE and most recently was Berlin Germany. I came from a boarding school in Berlin from my last two years, now I am back at my old school to finish off my last two years of IBDP. Honestly when it comes to interests I would need to write a whole essay just to count the things I throw myself into. Either for entertainment or purely out of someone else’s entertainment, which sucks sometimes. But my biggest interests are sailing with my cousin, baking, volleyball, badminton, singing and playing instruments and a newly discovered interest; learning how to use musical.ly.
Like almost all of you I have priorities on what I care about. My main priority is my family. Then my family’s well being and happiness. My family in truth is the only people I care about the most. For goal setting, my dream for this year would be to be extremely focused and organised and successfully finish my two year IB Diploma curriculum. After I get my Diploma would be to move in with my cousin and do professional sailing with Piratt, Lazer, Lazer Prime, 420 and 460 sailing boats alongside our University life.
A way this class would help me achieve my dreams would be first of all I pass the two year program with great grades. The second would be that it will play a dominant part in my career path. Due to the reason language is the path I want to take alongside the entertainment business, I will need an in depth understanding of how to use, influence, understand and analyse any form of literary or non-literary texts. The reason why people study language in the first place is, to be able to understand but also manipulate the language or whoever uses the language in their own benefit. It is important to know and understand the uses and possible ways of use whenever studying a language. As quite the “social butterfly” I tend to be, language at one point in my life did build an enormous barrier. Lucky to be me I know how to overcome such challenges with patience, responsibility and over time, it will just be a small obstacle you will look back to.
Ps. My family would probably say that this describes me the most due to the fact that I will get extremely angry over something small immediately. Causing me to sometimes be dumbfounded by my sudden anger attacks. :D
Sincerely, it was very nice of you to have read my first blog,

Hi Aurora! I find it really cool how you take an interest in sailing. It seems like a challenging but fun sport at the same time. I agree on how you said patience, responsibility and time is taken to overcome certain challenges in life, which hopefully i can master because i can get quite impatient at times.
ReplyDeleteHi Aurora. It was nice to learn about your interests and aspirations. You will find that a great deal of the material in the course addresses how language is used to persuade, inform and entertain. Based on your interest with language, this will surely satisfy you. Thanks for teaching me a new internet acronym!
ReplyDeleteHi Aurora. It's very impressive how much you love sailing as there are not many females who would do that. It's great that you setting goals for yourself which will obviously keep you motivated throughout the 2 years.
