ÖSSUR

      High quality, high performance prosthetics
…for a Life Without Limitations

     Breakthrough technologies and award-winning designs have combined to create a leading range of prosthetic solutions, with the emphasis firmly on clinical outcomes and quality of life. They include innovations such as the Propprio-foot, the foot that uses artificial intelligence to sense and react appropriately to stairs and slopes, and Total Knee Junior-the first, and for many the best response to children's prosthetic needs.
    I know about Össur because of a paralympic athlete, Oscar Pistorius.He is an inspirationalman to me because when he was 11 months old, his legs were amputated halfway between his knees and ankles.
    He now uses prosthetics of Össur and leads a successful life.He has some records in athletics.And he says that "You're not disabled by the disabilities you have, you are able by the abilities you have.''.I am not in a position to clearly understand him but I agree with him.

BEING A STUDENT AT METU



When i was in highschool, it was really boring to go to school everyday at the same time and to have lessons for almost the whole day.But here i feel myself very relaxed.I don't have to get up early every morning because I don't have classes everyday early.After lessons I can meet and do some things enjoyful with my friends without permission.First of all, I feel real freedom here, I feel as if I could do everything and this makes me stronger.When I wake up I feel I am special, I am at METU what can I want for more, I think nothng.At METU you are really free, everything around you make you notice this fact.I've definitely noticed this fact and I'm really happy to be here.If this question was asked me again that which university do I want to choose, again I would choose METU.Thank you METU...
