It was one of Bozüyük's usual windy and silent winter nights.there was a bit different disturbing atmosphere in a small dormitory established onfeet of a tiny mountain.Dorm's corridors were a bit cold like a corpse.Before half an hour,dinner ceramony was overand all guys had a rest in their rooms.They were waiting for etude time.Some guys were listening an heavy song , another guys were talking angrily with their close friends.The day could be usual for guys who wouldn't know the tension which would happen later.I was having a rest on my bed by drinking my special cocktail.I wasn't happy in the dorm.The wallsseemed me like a ghost waiting for capturing my spirit.It was so unlovely that I could go home by running even under theseweather conditions.I exited from the room to walk in corridor for a while.
Noise came from the ground floor.But I ignored it and went upstairs to play ping pong.After half an hour, during an excited matchthe door was opened.My friend,Yasin said “ The school manager was looking for you.”He seemed a bit confused.He hardly walked along the corridorWhen I came in , a high tension atmosphere was waiting for me.Manager shouted at me by saying " open your wardrobe " .Un fortunately I forgot my keys at home.Secretly I took one of my friend's key and opened it.He searched it to find some bad things to beat me up.But he wasn't succeed in.He was highly drunk.He leaned forward and realized a suitcase on the corner of the room.He said that it wasn't the place of that suitcase.As soon as Alper openedmouth to answer,He suffered from a slap.After five seconds,he threw up the shoes to another friend.Finally he exited from our room and passed next room.Violation continued in the next room.Before I came , he had tried to open my wardrobe.When he couldn't open,He asked Yasin who was this wardrobe’s owner.Yasin said he was in upground.He slapped Yasin and said to call me.Our manager who we all were having high respect for him turned into a monster at that night.
Because it was our first month in dorm.,we were shocked.We all decided to leave dorm but family pressure blocked us from leaving.This event has been one of the most dramatical events in my childhood.

The explosion was the most terrifying event for me when ı was 8 in Kırıkkale.It was so effective on me that ı stiill remember it well.It was a warmish,pretty day.Weather was utterly still like silence before storm.There were children and bird voices.My friends and me were playing game in my friends home.
Suddenly,window frame fell down with huge bang.It was so harsh that my ears were aching.I went to home and it went on exploiding.We felt like an eartquake was happening while bombs were exploiding.Then,it was anounced that we had to go farther places because there was explosion in armory.This armory had a lot of bombs,weapons,gunpowders and such as combustible materials,so it was very dangerous.Polices began to empty city.My family and me went to my uncle’s garden in Yahişhan which is the Kırıkkale’s county.We could see fumes which were arising from factory in there.There were stil small explosions,but again suddenly a big explosion happened and a vast boiling cloud of dust began to arise to sky.Sky was mixture of grey,scarlet fever,and it smelled so choky.Fire couldn’t be stopped and if this went on,Kırıkkale and even half of the Ankara would vanish,so my family and me went to Ankara.
Finally,fire was stopped with difficulty.we returned to our homes a few days later,but our home’s Windows were broken and walls were craced.Everywhere was sooty.This event had happened again years ago and we though that this wasn’t last one.

SCHOLL'S BALL
It was an exciting monday morning.I woke up early and I was very excited.That day was very special for me because it was our school's ball.At first,my best friend and I went to hairdresser.After my hair was made,it seemed very elegant.During making-up,we noticed that our hair and make-up were in harmony.Finally,we were ready for the excellent night.
That night started with a pleasant meal.While we were eating our delicious meal,our teachers made speeches and then cap ceremony was made.It was time to dance.Everybody waited for music so when music played,everybody stood up and started to dance.All of us seemed very enthusiastic.I was very sure that nobody wanted to finish this brillant night.It lasted until 3.00 a.m. and all of us were still very eager for dancing but unfortunately the night finished.
I finally came home with my best friends.We talked about the night and interesting events and then slept.That night was unforgettable for each of us.

UNFORGETABLE NIGHT
It was a weird april night,everthing was abnormal.I woke up to go school.There was wiilingness,but ı had to go.When ı went to school ı realized that something awful would be lived.One of my intimate friends whom ı hadn’t spoken for a long time told me that’’ I am sorry for everthing ,ı apologise you.’’It was really astonishing because we argued and both of us especially he was so determined to not make peace,but we did.After school time,although he insisted on me staying school yard,ı went home..I did so because the wheather was too cold in spite of being spring season..I was unawere of the danger how ı could ı know that there was only 10 hours to earthquake which was last 17 seconds and made me lost my best friend.ıt was the most dreadful time ı have ever had.
It was hard to sleep because of the sound of wind.I bounced from bed with the noisy of brick which fell down to root and made unbeareble sound.Suddenly ı realized that the bed was shaking.there was no one except me in the room.I tried to walk but ı couldn’t.I fell,screamed ‘’ mother mother’’ she didn’t do anything because she had already fainted.Also my father head was bleeding.With the help of our neighbour we were removed from home.The time was 3:45, the eartquake started at 3.27 and lasted 17 seconds.With the initial light of morning,we realized the covering of dust cloud,there was also callopsed buildings both of them made hard to breath.When my mother came round she said to us to go my aunt home.She was living high building which was also close to my friend’s home.We went there to look my aunt but when we arrived ı shocked,petrified.the building which my friend was living callopsed,7 floor apartment became as if 1 floor.I cried,yelled,shouted.I felt myself as if ı were in hell.I was afraid but words didnt mean anything.The view which ı faced made me depressed.There was no differences between me and corpse for days.We waited only to come to know what was happen to him and aproximately a few days later we learnt that he died.
Thank to this event, ı learnt there there was nothing significant than human.If human exist,he can do whatever he want.Life is someting that make you learn everything is ephemeral except death..I lived that 17 seconds it finished, passed but my friend didnt turn back again so live what you want at time,dont miss even one minute of life.

The Nightmare Day
1st December 2007.The day me grandfahter closed his eyes to the world was the worst day of my life. I and my family were gathered around my grandfather's deadbed. There was a grave slience while everybody was keeping their head down and praying sliently. However, I could feel the heart-torning screams coming from deep insidetheir soul.The only sound in the room was my grandfather's painful mourning which was killing us withhim.
Suddenly, The voice disappeared and left its place to a dead slience.Everbody stood up with worry.I runned check my grandfather's pulse ,but when I toched him, I felt nothing but the cold body of him.The moment I broke into tears, everybody felt the weight of the world on their shoulders.The slience was ceasedby the outcries like a thunder that felt in the middle of the house.With the dead of beloved husband, father, grandfather,every sense but sorrow died.We unclothed him and put a white sheet on him. Under the sheet he seemed like a sleepingangel which was about to oped his wide wings and fly to the heaven.With the sun-rise, it was time for us to prepare him for funeral ceremony.We washed him gently as if he had been stiil alive. We were still avoiding to hurt him.His body was as cold as ice ,and his skin was as soft as silk.Then, I combed his hair as though I was preparinghim for the most important meeting.Then we put him in his coffin which was like a steel cage from which there was no escape.We took my grandfather to the mosque where he lied sliently like a sleeping baby for his funeral ceremony. After the ceremony, we took him to the graveyard to bury him ,and in order to do our last service for him.The graveyard was full of agony ,andeverybody felt the coldness of this agony deep in their heart.While we were burying him, the rain was washing our tears as ifit was trying to console us, but it didn't help us to stop our cries.
After the burial, we went back to home, but there was something missing.We had left my grandfather alone.I felt like running till his grave to bring back even though I knew there was no way of it as he had come to the end.When we were servedmeals, nobody touched them.They all tasted bland.My grandfahter's dead had influenced us terribly.Although i don't cry anymore, one part of my heart still misses him desperately.

MY WORST DAY
It was a still and uneventful June morning,with deep darkness.It was very frightening when my cousin knocked the window.It was the morning of 11 June 2003 Wednesday.we were sleeping when he came,and then all of us woke suddenly after the noise made by my cousin.My mother opened the window and asked my cousin,who knocked the window and was shocked,"What happened?" He came to our house in a hurry because there was a person who had a heart-attack and died.Unfortunately,he was my father.
It was unbelievable that my father has died.I was shocked when I heard this because we left him only five months ago because of some unendurable and insistent problems.I haven't seen my frantic father since we left him and our house.I was shocked and was feeling like a stone.I thought ıt was a joke or a nightmare.I wanted to wake up as if it was a morning like every morning.I heard suddenly that my mother was crying.When I heard this,I realized that everything was real,and my father had died.After being shocked by the news of his death it looked as if I saw his frantic face and his white hair which was like snow.Then we went to our own house where my father had died.When I walked towards our house,I could hear a deathly silence.It seemed like the end of the world and my life.I didn't realize that he had died until Isaw his coffin.He was in coffin and was sleeping like a child,who sleeps in peace.Unfortunately,he started out his last travel.It seemed to me that he will come back,but he never came back and will never come back.
His death was the beginning of a new life,without him.It has affected me very much and will affect me until the end of my life.He was very important for me,and he will be.He died five years ago,but I never forget that day.That day is the nightmare of my life.I think,I never wake up from this nightmare.

THE TERRIFYING FLOOD
The flood in Çakırlar where is the district of Antalya was the most terrifying and unforgettable event I kept in my mind since it was occured.
It was a rainy and stormy December morning,I was at home then I turned the TV.I heard some awful news.Storms and heavy rain paralayzed daily life in Antalya and also they resulted in the death of eight people.
In Çakırlar which is situated between mountains,was the most damaged place in Antalya.Many houses were flooded, bridges were collapsed and the electricity wires were fallen down onto streets,so homes were remained n darkness for long periods.Many people were unable to leave their homes they were waiting help desperately.They were really frightened. Goventment sent vehicles to rescue people and volunteers help them,too.Vehicles were barely taking people from their home,because flood hindered to them.Scarcely bulldozer took a boy when it fell down.Unfortunately,the boy and driver died. At that time,I heard the irritating and painful screams from residents.It was so unbearable voice I had ever heard.
Finally,after a day storm abated.However exhausted they were,they started to search their relatives or nighbours and their possessions eleborately.They suffered from adversely.Flood undermined their homes and dreams.Ofcourse it was an enviromental event,however people could take precaution for disasters.

1999 The Most Frightening Year
The 1999 Earthquake was the most dreadful event I kept in my mind since my childhood.17 August night,we wanted to go out since the air was very sweltering.As we were wandering,we saw a terrifying sight.The sky was scarlet like sunset.In the sky,there were some lights as if they had been stars.Some dogs were barking bleakly.
At 03:05,there was a horrifying roar.everywhere was white as light as a day time.Our building was shaking as if it had sprung to air and fallen on place. While the earthquake occured.the electricity cut off.The earthquake continued 45 minute but we felt as if it took many minutes.
After earthquake.everything changed and occured as usual.Everybody in our quarter wennt out with dread.Everywhere was so full that nowhere was empty.There were lots of people like doomsday.All people tried to phone their relatives but that wasn't easy.That day influenced me so much that I couldn't forget.
