Student, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany
My name is Demet Avci and I am 20 years old. I was born and raised in berlin but my roots are in turkey. It is really important for me to travel the world and see diffrent cultures to widen my mind and spirit.
Since the wintersemester 2015 I am attending the technical university. I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to become a teacher. The main aspect was the huge influence of teachers and teaching itself. From my point of view the philosphy and the positiv mind of a teacher has a really grave impact on life planning and motivation of pupile. My main subject is WAT ( Arbeitslehre) and my second subject is German.
Furthermore I believe in technic and its positiv and benefical effects. Based on that I am really curious about the development of e-learning.
