About the Principal
My name is Reşit, a Kurdish Armenian born in the crossroads of cultures, Sanliurfa – also known as ancient Edessa. This city, nestled in the heartland of Mesopotamia, instilled in me a deep sense of roots, values, and ambition.
I grew up as part of a large and traditional Kurdish family involved in the agricultural business. My formative years were deeply connected with the operations of cotton farming and the trade of fertilizers and pesticides. Raised by my father, a small business owner and farmer, and my mother, a dedicated housewife, I grew up with three sisters in a household where work and family were inseparable.
