Senior From Turkey Mehmet Tasirlar is a nineteen year old Senior born in Malkara, Turkey. He likes both Ashland and America very much. Favorite Subjects Mehmet says, "Crafts is my favorite subject." He also likes Math very well. According to Mehmet, "It is not hard speaking English." He finds the school very different from the ones in Turkey. One reason Mehmet speaks English very well is because he has been studying it for about five years. The stores here in America fascinate the young man from Turkey. "There is so much wonderful. I believe all of the people of the world are proud of you." America was Nedda's "impossible dream." I think AHS has made that dream -better. ' an afternoon in the sun. choice! And they're so big!" is what he says about them. The shops in Turkey deal only in one product as a rule. All buying is done by a bargaining system. Like To Be Teacher Mehmet enjoys talking with different people. He would like to teach Turkish here. Mehmet believes that he can help other Turks learn Fnglish quickly. Mehmet toured twenty-one other states before coming to Ashland. He has no sisters or brothers.
