Competing on Survivor Turkey
Competing on Survivor Turkey
Competing on Survivor Turkey
I have always felt connected to two worlds: my Turkish roots and American life. Growing up, memories of Turkey were filled with joy, but a visit in 2021 painted a different picture. The enthusiasm of the youth was dimmed by inflation, economic hardship, and dwindling opportunities. Witnessing this, I was consumed by an urge to instill hope. But how could I possibly reach millions?

On the Island: Dominican Republic
One evening, while watching “Survivor Turkey” with my family, inspiration struck. The show was a sensation amongst the youth. I would use this show as a platform to instill hope. Back in the States, I embarked on a challenging journey, training rigorously twice a day with an Olympic coach. My body & mind transformed over 18 exhausting months. And then, a golden opportunity: I was selected to fly to the island to be on the show’s qualification round. Competing in Dominican Republic against seasoned contestants, I emerged victorious, my dreams seemingly coming to fruition.

My story was met by an unexpected twist when the producers disqualified me due to my residential status outside of Turkey. The disqualification hit hard. It felt like the universe was pulling down the bridge I was trying to build. Rather than wallow in despair, I chose to harness this setback. If “Survivor Turkey” wasn’t my platform, I’d create my own. My mission is to connect with & inspire more youth than I could have imagined. While I didn’t win a TV title, I know that this was a part of my journey in sparking hope in a generation, teaching them – and myself – that true victory lies in resilience against adversity.
