Hello! My name is Esmanur and I’m from Türkiye. Poland was always one of the countries that I’d like to visit and when I saw this project on the site, I knew that I had to apply. Everything made me excited about our project. I’ll be working in a kindergarten with children and helping them daily. And also living abroad has always been my dream. I had big dreams and I’m so happy that I’ll be here to make my dreams come true. I’m so excited to start my journey here and make new friends. I know that it might be challenging and not easy all the time but I also know how precious it is to fight for our dreams.

It was not easy at all to come here for me. I tried my best for my dreams and I know that it’s going to be great. I always wanted to work with children and when I experienced this in Milan, I said to myself that I wanted to do it again. Kindergarten is an important period in which children take the first step in their educational lives and acquire basic skills such as motor, emotional, social and cognitive skills and supporting them in this period of their life is something very valuable to me. Working in kindergarten involves supporting children’s not only academic but also social and emotional development. This age group is extremely open to discovery and learning, and as an individual who is aware of this, I would love to help them in this field by giving all my energy.

Life in Krakow seems quiet and good so far. I’m also someone who loves quiet places so this place is exactly for me. The mood of the city, people, food and ambiance is really cool. It feels like everything has aligned perfectly for me, and I can’t wait to embrace this beautiful journey with all its challenges and joys.

Dzięki.
