Then she drags herself out of bed \u2013 reluctantly. The day begins and, as so often, she realises: growing up is anything but easy. For Burcu it feels like a book without an instruction manual. You just have to get on with it. \u2018There\u2019s no other way,\u2019 she says with a shrug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"post__paragraph has-spacing--none wp-block-paragraph\">Much was easier in her childhood. Despite being responsible for four children, her mother was always there for her and took many challenges off Burcu\u2019s hands. But when she moved into a shared flat in Osnabr\u00fcck, everything changed. Suddenly there was no one to remind her about tidiness and routines. Instead: self-reliance. She discovered freedom \u2013 and the pitfalls that come with it. Binge-watching the Netflix series Squid Game undisturbed, for example, without anyone objecting. But Burcu learned quickly: freedom brings responsibility too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-spacing--none\">    <figure class=\"block-photo post__image--wide-left has-spacing--m with-title\">\n\n        <div class=\"post__image__container\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" \n                src=\"https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Burcu-ist-erwachsen-Armina-Ahmadinia_7-1-1050x1575.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Burcu-ist-erwachsen-Armina-Ahmadinia_7-1-1050x1575.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Burcu-ist-erwachsen-Armina-Ahmadinia_7-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Burcu-ist-erwachsen-Armina-Ahmadinia_7-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Burcu-ist-erwachsen-Armina-Ahmadinia_7-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Burcu-ist-erwachsen-Armina-Ahmadinia_7-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Burcu-ist-erwachsen-Armina-Ahmadinia_7-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Burcu-ist-erwachsen-Armina-Ahmadinia_7-1-1920x2880.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Burcu-ist-erwachsen-Armina-Ahmadinia_7-1-1400x2100.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Burcu-ist-erwachsen-Armina-Ahmadinia_7-1-670x1005.jpg 670w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Burcu-ist-erwachsen-Armina-Ahmadinia_7-1-420x630.jpg 420w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Burcu-ist-erwachsen-Armina-Ahmadinia_7-1-350x525.jpg 350w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Burcu-ist-erwachsen-Armina-Ahmadinia_7-1-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Burcu-ist-erwachsen-Armina-Ahmadinia_7-1-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Burcu-ist-erwachsen-Armina-Ahmadinia_7-1-scaled.jpg 1707w\"\n                width=\"1050\" \n                height=\"1575\"\n                alt=\"\" \n            \/>\n            \n                            <span class=\"post__image__title\">Photo: Armina Ahmadinia<\/span>\n                    <\/div><!-- post__image__container -->\n\n        \n    <\/figure><!-- post__image -->\n\n\n\n\r\n \r\n    \r\n    <div id=\"quote-block_372e24eef815726bbf07c2ab889d5943\" class=\"block-quote has-spacing--m\">\r\n        <figure class=\"quote\">\r\n            <blockquote>\r\n                <p><strong>Bend a tree<\/strong> while it is young.<\/p>\n            <\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n            <figcaption class=\"without-author-image\">\r\n\r\n                            <span><\/span>\r\n            <\/figcaption>\r\n            \r\n        <\/figure>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"post__paragraph has-spacing--default wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Turkish proverb has stayed with her since her teens:<\/strong> \u2018Bend a tree while it is young.\u2019 For Burcu, it sums up growing up perfectly. Every decision, she is convinced, shapes later life. To keep on top of things, she has created rituals for herself: a small notebook helps her organise her daily tasks. It doesn\u2019t always go perfectly, but it gives her structure. She needs this discipline to manage her double bachelor\u2019s degree in Islamic theology and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"post__paragraph has-spacing--default wp-block-paragraph\">When the day has been long and tiring, she unwinds with a romance novel \u2013 as long as it has a happy ending. Or she meets friends and Muslim communities that give her a sense of home and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"post__paragraph has-spacing--default wp-block-paragraph\">Burcu first truly felt like an adult four years ago. She was moving house \u2013 for the fifth time in her life. This time she wanted to manage on her own, without being a burden to anyone. But it was harder than she thought. When the boxes weren\u2019t packed as planned and the furniture wasn\u2019t assembled the way she wanted, the day became a real test. In the past her mother would have helped her at moments like this. Burcu was overwhelmed \u2013 and cried. But giving up was not an option. In the end, exhausted but content, she stood in her new flat, filled with pride: she had done it \u2013 all by herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"post__paragraph has-spacing--none wp-block-paragraph\">Burcu\u2019s story shows that growing up means making mistakes, learning from them and carrying on despite setbacks. What she has learned: it isn\u2019t always easy, but every small step brings her closer to herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-spacing--default has-spacing--default\">\n<div class=\"devider has-spacing--none\">\n    <hr>\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"headline-block has-spacing--xs\">\n\n        <h2 class=\"post__headline\">Related to this story<\/h2>\n\n        \n    <\/div>\n\n    \n\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"teaser-grid grid-layout--3col has-spacing--s width--inline\">\r\n\r\n            \r\n                <article class=\"post-teaser\">\r\n\r\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/en\/magazine\/ideals\/no-mum-and-dad-im-not-going-to-be-a-doctor\/\" rel=\"permalink\">\r\n\r\n                        <div class=\"post-teaser__content\">\r\n\r\n                            <span class=\"entry-categories\">Ideals<\/span>\r\n                            <h3 class=\"post-teaser__headline\">\r\n                                No, Mum and Dad, I\u2019m not going to be a doctor!                            <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                            <div class=\"post-teaser__excerpt\">\r\n                                <p>When parents try to project their own ideals onto their children.
