Superwoman Drives a VW Bug

(Milliyet Newspaper, 4 September 2019)
Nice ride! Şükran hanım.
Şükran Keskin (53) lives in Ankara. She was married off at 14 and
had 5 children by the time she was 24. Nevertheless, Şükran hanım
got herself a high school diploma and at age 27 she gained entrance
to Hacettepe University's Library Sciences Department. So while
her 5 children went to elementary and high school, Şükran hanım
was going to university.
Şükran hanım separated from her husband at age 29 but despite
this she continued to raise her 5 children and finished Hacettepe,
after which Şükran hanım worked at everything from flea markets
to salesperson to secretary. Her two boys and 3 girls all finished
university.
Collecting antiques gave Şükran hanım the opportunity to open
an antique shop of her own in Ankara's Kale quarter. Next, she
changed her shop into a café and since she's her own boss, Şükran
hanım bought the car of her dreams - a red VW bug. She has also
learned English, Ottoman and Persian (!): "I never gave up hope and
I advise others not to either."
Taking a very well-deserved break.
