Şanslı

Şanslı means Luck, My students love to tell me that when I win at foosball its only because today "teacher you are lucky," Yesterday I came across an article that said American clothing appearal stores were taking over a very popular shopping street in France. American stores, were running a France street? Isn't France known for its fashion? I began to think about other things that have originated in America. The whole movie industry, a large part of the music industry. Then i thought of all the products I see and their origin, America, America, America. We have it all. If we have it all, why did I leave thinking there was nothing for me? I am one step ahead of everyone else in the world, "American citizenship" I realized early on this year, that I was privildged to have English as my native language. But now I realized not only do I speak the language but I have all the major companies in the world in my country, near my family, in a society where I understand how to get things done. I am lucky. I literally can do anything, The American Dream. Sometimes I think that it doesnt exist, but then i think about times like now, where I realized, we have everything, and I left thinking I had nothing. I am lucky.
