Lack of Attendance to School Activities

Halime Kayrakçı, The Koc School Boarding

Noyan SONGÜR's photograph exhibition ''Theme of Far East'' opened on 27th April 2009 at 5 p.m. in the Dormitory Social Center. The announcement to invite both daily and boarding students is made in the morning of that day, but the attendance was low for the opening ceremony.

The hall was prepared for the exhibition, and Noyan’s photographs waited to be seen. When I saw him, he was tired because he worked whole the night before that opening ceremony, but still he was excited. Also his photographs were excited, because they all were prepared for that day. The photographs have a different culture’s trace, and all taken from far away, Far East. Since lots of effort and time were spent on this organization, why the students could not achieve a high attendance?

Another example is that Sema Acarel, the girls’ dormitory supervisor, complains about their limitation to organize an exhibition for her and her students’ products, because people do not pay attention on their work, so that her students loss their enthusiasm . I know they have pocket full of scarves and coasters, but they are waiting for the public’s attention.

For energetic and entrepreneur students, Koc School is such a good school which supports the social activities, but this not enough. They also need to support of their friends, and high attendance to their activities. Everybody should be aware of how their support is important for activity coordinators. In this school everybody has an activity and so everybody will need to support, and they will ask for the high attendance, too. Only empathy!

My Invention

I would like to be an inventor who found the infinite peace for the world. I know ever body needs it, and this would be the most useful and helpful invention. Since the war and death are in our life and they are so close to us, nobody has the real peace in my opinion. However, if I would found the peace’s formula, there would be no war, no starving, no sadness, or no death. There would be no worry, and people would be happy. So their life would be longer automatically. Of course I would be famous if I invent the infinite peace
