This is H?meyra Onba?l?, my mother. She is a 50-year-old Muslim lady and she is a lawyer. My father and I live in Istanbul with her. In this beautiful city, I developed a constructive and smiling spirit under the guidance of her wisdom. Because she is a lawyer, she sees many problematic people. Over years, seeing many people who muddle through their problems, she became a problem solver, evaluator of honesty, evaluator of people, manners and business. I learned to develop a sense of wisdom with her serene and knowledgable style. When I had experienced problems, she helped me manage my emotions with wisdom. When I had experienced great joys, she stopped me from losing my honor and nobility. All in all, she has been an exemplifying figure in constructive approach and wisdom in the society and maybe that is because the parents of Robert College chose her as the president of the Parents and Teacher Association (PTA).
