Catalyst 30 – Choosing CMU



This week’s catalyst
is on a decision you made that ended up changing the direction of your life.

While this is not my favorite piece of art, I find it very intriguing
that all the big events of my life trace back to the moment I decided to
leave Turkey and move to the United States to attend college at Carnegie
Mellon. On a personal level, that’s where I met my boyfriend, whom I
then married and had a child with. On a professional note, CMU got me my
Wall Street job which I then quit to do Teach For America and finally
Google. It all started with that one decision to go to college in the
United States. A decision I will forever cherish.
