'elect' Contained Stories
One day, during our course selection week, i saw that we had a course name as "literature and environment". At first, i thought that this course would explain the necessities of nature, what naturism is, and as a result, we would become a naturist person. Then, when i saw the official course program, i realized that i was not wrong in these thoughts. In our first lesson, our teacher started by saying "our ancestors entrusted nature to us." later on, we learned the technical details of protecting nature, the nation of different plants and the necessity of protecting nature. At the end of the course, we all are students who are titled ecologists. As an ecologist, i say that i will always try to protect nature, even if it is a tiring process.
