Reflection 3

I hereby nominate Mr. Kemalettin Uçucu for the person of the year. Uçucu was born in Sivas, on a snowy day of November, in 1965. His mother and father were poor. This motivated him to work harder in order to become rich in the future. He graduated from a public primary school in Sivas, after which he was admitted to Galatasaray High School in Istanbul. In Galatasaray, he learnt how to speak French and English as fluently as a native speaker, and he also studied classical Latin and Greek works of Renaissance. While studying Da Vinci, he fell in love with anatomy and human medicine, which led him to study at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in the United States. During his studies at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, he was at the top of his class. Amazingly, he started to perform operations when he was in his second year at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He chose neurology as his field of study due to his intense fascination with the workings of the human brain. After graduation, he completed his Philosophy Doctorate in 1992. His cumulative grade point average was 4.00, one of the best in his department. After completing his Philosophy Doctorate, he completed many internships, and became a professor of neurology in 1994. In 1995, he returned to Turkey to work in his home town. It is amazing that he chose to work in a public hospital instead of constructing his own office. Since 1997, he has worked in Sivas Public Hospital. Uçucu often goes out of his way to help his patients. At least two weeks a year, he travels around Turkey to perform free operations to people who need them. Though, he increases this sometimes. Due to his selfless devotion to his job, I nominate him for the person of the year.
