He spent the next 4 years struggling to learn a new language, make new friends, and counter his borderline obesity. His grades sank, his weight rose, and his social life died as he began to isolate himself to his room. All until the age of 15 when coming to a simple realisation motivated him to excel in everything that had negatively impacted him. Kaan Turan is a student who moved to Turkey after living in California for 12 years.
