In the second week, my mom, my sibling, and I will go to İzmir. I’m really looking forward to it because İzmir is such a beautiful city! I’m eager to see my cousins, and I know it will make me really happy. We will visit the beaches, talk for hours, and laugh a lot. I’m also looking forward to doing some shopping and finding something special. The mix of history, stunning weather, and the lively atmosphere in İzmir will definitely make this trip unforgettable.

In the firt week of semester break I didn't went out much I rested and read some MyOn books. Then at the second week of the semester break my family and I went to samsun to visit my grandparents it takes like 16 driveway to get there so it was a little boring and tiring and we did some shopping and I saw my cousin too so it was a good break

The camp was in Istanbul which means too much traffic and stress. It was really helpfull for my skills because we had an opportunıty to play with big teams such as Galatasaray and Bahçeşehir. These teams and also Anadolu Efes has the biggest basketball academy in Turkey. We slept only 6 hours a day and had match the next day. We have been to Euro Leauge matches too. The best part of the camp was the visit to Hupa Lupa. Then I spent 2 days with my father in Istanbul.

We played bowling which I loved. When we came back to Bodrum, we had 2 days off to get rest with my family. Then we went to Kos and then Rhodes. I’ve never been in Rhodes before. From Kos to Rhodes we took a Blue Star Ferry which I always see and wondered how would It be to travel in it. Rhodes was quite big island comparing the others. We saw Saint Jean Castle and too many archeological museum. I learned about Saint Jean Knight’s lifes. Everyday, we walked around 16000 steps. For me that was the worst part. It was nice to be back at home and see my cat doing okay cause she was alone during that period. Now I am counting down for the summer holiday🥁

Winter holidays in Ukraine are my favorite time of the year. They usually start in late December and last until mid-January. The best part is that we get to celebrate both New Year’s Eve on December 31 and Christmas on January 7.

Before the holidays, my family and I decorate our home with lights and a Christmas tree. The streets are also beautifully decorated, and festive markets appear everywhere. On New Year’s Eve, we gather with friends and family, enjoy a big feast, and watch fireworks at midnight.

Christmas is more traditional. We prepare kutia (a sweet grain dish) and other special meals, and we sing Christmas carols called kolyadky. Sometimes, we visit relatives or even travel to the Carpathian Mountains to ski and enjoy the snow.

For me, winter holidays in Ukraine are a magical time filled with joy, warmth, and unforgettable moments with loved ones. but now there is a war in Ukraine and these New Year holidays are not as bright as before☃️😭

My grandparents and my uncle came and we celebrated my BIRTHDAY 🎂.

Not counting my birthday, I rested a lot.

Thank you 😊

In Dubai you can see people from all over the world. You can see wealth all over the city, like the sport cars and the designer shops. On the other hand, you can also see people been taken advantage off. For example everywhere you go there is always people from south east Asia working in the service sector working hard but getting minimum wage. It is a city with two sides of the coin.

The second week I attended an intensive training of swimming and athleticism at the Inventist academy in Istanbul it was very exhausting and intense. However it was rewarding. I felt great after coming back and I feel grateful towards our teacher who tolerated 11 youngsters for 7 whole days.

Thank you for your time.
