[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2gEZMXjSnYLU/en/headscarf-wearing-students-describe-theology-assumption-in-fethiye?t=8) We came here on vacation for a few days. We went to Boncuk Cove and swam.

[0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2gEZMXjSnYLU/en/headscarf-wearing-students-describe-theology-assumption-in-fethiye?t=11) Then we moved to the side, sunbathing, right?

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2gEZMXjSnYLU/en/headscarf-wearing-students-describe-theology-assumption-in-fethiye?t=14) A woman started chatting with us and all.

[0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2gEZMXjSnYLU/en/headscarf-wearing-students-describe-theology-assumption-in-fethiye?t=16) Then she was like, "Girls, are you studying?"

[0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2gEZMXjSnYLU/en/headscarf-wearing-students-describe-theology-assumption-in-fethiye?t=20) So we said, "Yes, we are," and she paused. Actually, she went like: "What are you studying? Theology?"

[0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2gEZMXjSnYLU/en/headscarf-wearing-students-describe-theology-assumption-in-fethiye?t=28) And we were just like this: Okay. I mean, we could study theology too, because yeah, we can, no problem.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2gEZMXjSnYLU/en/headscarf-wearing-students-describe-theology-assumption-in-fethiye?t=35) There's nothing wrong with that at all. But the way she asked, because we wear hijabs, just— Her assuming we'd study theology.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2gEZMXjSnYLU/en/headscarf-wearing-students-describe-theology-assumption-in-fethiye?t=41) Yeah, her thinking that we could only study theology— Really bothered us.

[0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2gEZMXjSnYLU/en/headscarf-wearing-students-describe-theology-assumption-in-fethiye?t=44) And this mindset really bothered us. I study law at Istanbul Law.

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2gEZMXjSnYLU/en/headscarf-wearing-students-describe-theology-assumption-in-fethiye?t=48) I'm studying dentistry at Çapa. And I'm studying medicine.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2gEZMXjSnYLU/en/headscarf-wearing-students-describe-theology-assumption-in-fethiye?t=52) And when we told the woman this in turn, you know, her face was kind of like, "Sure." Right there, we felt proud. We were truly proud.

[1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2gEZMXjSnYLU/en/headscarf-wearing-students-describe-theology-assumption-in-fethiye?t=61) So what we mean in the end is that no matter how we look or how we think, we can exist everywhere.

[1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2gEZMXjSnYLU/en/headscarf-wearing-students-describe-theology-assumption-in-fethiye?t=68) Thank God. Even though in the past, students from imam hatip schools had their scores cut and could only study theology, now, thankfully, we can freely study any major we want, as we deserve.

[1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2gEZMXjSnYLU/en/headscarf-wearing-students-describe-theology-assumption-in-fethiye?t=79) So being able to show this to someone, even in a small way, was very sweet.
