Merve Uzun, pictured above with TAWSF President Ayhan Lash, is a recipient of the Nick and Ayhan Lash Scholarship.  Merve, who is in her senior year of college, wrote to us recently to thank TAWSF and the Lash family for making it possible for her to finish her university education:

Sevgili TAWSF ailesi,

Öncelikle 5 yıllık yüksek öğrenim hayatımın 3 yılında almaya başladığım bursunuz ile vermiş olduğunuz maddi ve manevi destek için vakfınıza ve yönetim kurulu üyelerinize teşekkürlerimi sunmak istiyorum.

Vakfınız tarafından sağlanan burs,hem ailemi hemde beni öğrenim yaşamım boyunca çok rahatlattı. Bir üniversite öğrencisi olarak, özgüvenimin gelişmesine katkı sağlamakla birlikte başarılı bir öğrenci olmamı olumlu yönde etkiledi.

Bundan böyle eğitim hayatım bittiğinde (inşallah haziran 2017’de mezun olacağım) öğretmen olarak öğretim hayatım başladığında Atatürk ilkeleri ve düşünceleri doğrultusunda doğru ve dürüst bir şekilde mesleğimi yapacağım ve Atatürk ilkeleri ve düşünceleri doğrultusunda yeni nesiller yetiştireceğim.
Atatürkçü değerlerin ve düşüncelerin, sevginin, mutluluğun, ilimin, umudun olduğu nice güzel günler görmek ve böyle bir dünyada yaşamak dileğiyle.

TAWSF ailesine tekrardan teşekkür ediyorum. Umarım bağışçılarımızın destekleri bitmez ve burslarınızın her öğrenciye birer ışık olması sağlanır.

Saygılarımla

Merve UZUN-Almanca Öğretmenliği 4. Sınıf öğrencisi
