Next ten years.

Having a plan about the future is important for human beings, isn’t it? Everybody lives with both his dreams and plans. I have a wonderful dream to fulfill in the next ten years. This is to complete my academic education which is crucial for my future project.  In fact, I want to be a professor in Islamic studies. In this blog, I want to talk about only two topics: the reason why is important to be a Professor in the Universities and how I will have this title.

Why is being a professor so important? First of all, it is my dream; therefore, I need to obtain my dream to satisfy myself. Second, actually, I finished my PhD theses in Islamic studies in 2008 and had a PhD degree in that year. Is this enough to be a real academician? I think acquiring a PhD degree is important for someone but not enough. It needs to be completed by writing some articles and books. So, I want to finish my academic education being professor. Last but not least, I want to contribute to the students by giving them knowledge and a different perspective in that area. Actually, I came to the USA to maintain my purpose. Now I am learning English, but learning English is not my main goal. I want to support my educational background by learning English. It is important for an academician to write an academic article in English. Moreover, researching in the USA has been enlarging my point of wives and has been contributing to my knowledge. To tell the truth, I want to convey this accumulation to the student to enhance their ability and talent being a professor.

How can I achieve my dream? No doubt, I need a lot of obligation to achieve my goal. First, I need to publish three academic articles and to write a book related to Islamic studies. Therefore, I wrote three academic essays which were published in the academic journals in addition to write a lot of regular articles. Actually, I am planning to write a book which is related to the Islamic studies. Nowadays, it is too early to write an academic book because I need to learn further and search about my major in libraries. Second, I have to pass the exam of associate professor to be a professor. This exam is too hard to surpass; therefore, I need to study a lot. Initially, I’m supposed to have the knowledge of my major. Besides, I have to take the English exam. In fact, I took this exam in Turkey in 2010. Finally, I’m expected to speak and to convict the jury of professors. Having finished my English course and researching in the USA, I am planning to study hard to take this important exam.  

In brief, I want to be a well-known professor in the next ten years. Therefore, I expect to fulfill my dream by studying hard. My studying and efforts show that I will reach my goal.
