Bosnia Music

Bosnia music Etwinning

We finally had our next Etwinning meeting with our friends from Bosnia. This time the topic was their local music preferences and popular music listened to by teenagers in Bosnia. The meeting was one of the best meetings we had since we all enjoyed music as teenagers. When they showed us music their culture influenced I made an observation that my culture's music and their music had similarities. After this realization, I recommended some Turkish jazz artists to my friend who prepared the presentation. Learning about other cultures’ music made me think about how there are things in the world that unite everyone like music, paintings, and sports. This thought made me feel less alone and more in touch with the world around me and intrigued me to search for other cultures' music and my cultural music as well. 


After they finished the presentation I started a conversation about our own music tastes and discussed some of our favorite bands' features together. It was overall a great presentation and the conversations we had made us closer as a group.

Tutoring My Friend

  Tutoring My Friend When I came home to see my family this weekend one of my friends called me to help her with her mathematics exam. Since I knew the topics she was struggling with I of course accepted the offer without a second thought. We studied for two and a half hours and I taught her some tricks regarding certain question types which helped me revise them myself. After the study session, she had her mathematics exam and had a great mark which made me feel proud of myself and my friend.  This experience made me realize how I can help people easily just by sparing just a few hours. I felt very proud of my teaching skills and my communication skills since I was able to communicate the knowledge I had and helped someone with those skills .

INTRODUCING GURUB!!

Resim
 INTODUCING: GURUB!! HI EVERYONE!! I’m finally back with more things to talk about. I now have a band!!! We are an acoustic band consisting of me (lead vocal) and two of my best friends from prep year of highschool, Kerim (guitar + vocals) and Ahsen (guitar + vocals). We had our first rehearsal today sadly only with me and Kerim. It took us about 3 hours but finally we decided the tone of three songs and figured out the back vocals. This small rehearsal made me realize how much hard work actually goes into music. Working as a team was not my strongest suit previously but while working for something I love like music it was a lot easier. I had a lot of fun while trying to get the songs right. Some  other people came in to listen to us playing and singing, though it was not an actual concert or a show it still made me quite proud. Being in a band was one of my childhood dreams and I’m really happy to be able to do all of this with my friends. Here you can see some pictures of us...

  Learning Firstaid As someone who has health problems and experienced fainting in public places. I would get made very uncomfortable by people with no firstaid training. Because of this I wanted to make sure other people like me doesn't experience such uncomfortable situations and learn firstaid. I decided to sign up for the firstaid course near me for their 18 hour program. Though I knew most of the things because of my own situation I also learned a lot about different situations I might need to step in. Being able to help people and give this service when needed makes me really proud and seeing that other young people like me also wanted to help made me think about our shared lives as humanity and how much we actually mean to each other which was emotional. When the course ended we had a test and a practical exam which I passed. Now I can help people in hard situations I also got into in the past 😊
