I had signed up to take 3 classes this summer so that I could take 4 in the Fall and Spring and graduate in May. It was brutal and I was scared I would flunk something for sure, with the kids home all summer. Late Sunday night I decided to check my classes for some reason and realized one of the classes I signed up for I did not need and it was the last hour I could drop and get my money back. I am so relieved but that means I will have to take 5 classes this fall.

Ataturk
The founding father of modern day Turkey is Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. At the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1922 he became president of the Turkey.
I know it is crazy that the Ottoman Empire existed in the 20th century.
He began to modernize Turkey. He did away with mandatory Islamic schooling, outlawed the wearing of headscarves, changed
their religious day from Friday to Sunday. Began emacipation for woman. He was given the name Ataturk which means 'Father of Turkey' in 1935 for all he did for the Turkish people.
He is idolized in Turkey, everywhere you go, you will see pictures of this man who changed the outcomes for woman in a Muslim country.
