Neslihan talks about education and sports
Being a professional athlete at an early age had a negative impact on my educational process. I had problems like every athlete. Especially too many missed hours caused me problems. At the age of 16 I was a national volleyball player and I was going to high school. Training three times a day and school was very tiring. I had no social life. The system of that time forced me to make a decision between education and sports but my parents helped me to overcome this situation.
The first year I entered college, I chose the sports academy. After national camp I went to the ability test where they wanted a medical report from me. I was very surprised. I couldn’t understand why they wanted a medical report from a national athlete.
We arranged the medical report. Then I had to go to an exam. I had to finish an obstacle course on time. But I failed.
According to the talent test I had no talent.
Later I lost my motivation and I felt betrayed. Now I’m studying at Gazi University thanks to the quota for national athletes.
