What I Learned From the YetGen Program?
This year I completed the 12–week YetGen Gençler Program, which I joined after passing a two–stage selection process. It was a great opportunity because the program is free and brings together students from many different schools. Throughout the course, I learned skills that I believe every high school student should develop, such as critical thinking, problem solving, digital literacy and teamwork. One of the most important lessons for me was understanding how to take responsibility for my own learning instead of waiting for someone to push me. The weekly challenges also taught me how to organize my time and stay consistent even when schoolwork was intense. If I could give advice to anyone my age, I would say this: try programs that challenge you, even if they look difficult at first. Surround yourself with people who are curious and motivated. Do not be afraid to ask questions, try new skills or work on projects that take you out of your comfort zone. The more you explore, the more you discover what you are truly capable of.
