"I believe that quality education transforms a child's life with an unparalleled impact. When I look at the current state of the world, I see that humanity, which has advanced in so many fields, is standing still in many aspects of education. There are good schools, but their numbers are decreasing. It is becoming increasingly difficult to be a good school. As someone who attended ACI for 7 years, I am more aware than ever of the privilege I had during those seven years. I would like this quality and good education to be sustainable, to reach a wider population through equal opportunities and the good practices stemming from it to permeate every aspect of education, and for this, we need to work. There are definitely things that I can do for my school, where I entered to learn and departed to serve, by taking responsibility. That is why I'm a part of SEV."
