Bilgin hopes to one day attend medical school and dreams of creating a greenhouse made entirely of waste. “Winning this competition will bring me one large step closer to my dream of attending Med School, since the prizes will help me fund my education as well as allowing me to have an once-in-a-lifetime experience. But more importantly, winning will show me that I am in the right path to my future, and science is my calling.” she said.
