== Personal History and Education ==
Sami Cetin first attended Downsview Primary School in South London in September 1987 and made many friends there. He developed an interest in Mathematics, Computers and Designing activities that would forge the skills he would use when older. He and several others during the later years of Primary School began gaming as consoles became popular. Sami also participated in some Christmas plays that helped develop an interest in acting, one that he would not later study, but take part in recreationally for Jason Mathoora's films. Due to long suffering of asthma since 1985, Sami was unable to perform any sports involving endurance; this meant that whenever football or related sports where involved Sami was unable to be involved. However, Sami did participate in some athletics which were on short bursts and in large event he scored 1st in his year and school for 1994 in the Long Jump event. He went on to compete at the Croydon athletics with other competitors from other schools and reached some targets but due to lack of time and training was unable to reach a high position in the standings. He was also able to sprint fast on short bursts but fell short of winning on these events again due to lack of training as this also affected his asthma. Swimming was another sport he learned in his Primary School years and this was used on numerous holidays in Turkey each summer.
Secondary school began at Stanley Technical High School for boys in September 1994 where Sami developed his knowledge and education fast in many subjects. On his first day there he met friends that he has stayed in contact with till this day, including Jonathan "Biff" Sifleet, John Barber and Neil Skipper. Sami's subjects at school leaned more towards languages, Business and Computing which he would later go on to study at College and eventually University although he was unaware of this at the time. He had developed a strong interest in civil aviation and wished to become a civil aviation pilot, however this dream was later not fulfilled due to Education, possible Health and Financial constraints. Sami also attended a Turkish School on Saturdays which he had previously gone to, but this time to complete a GCSE course from late 1997 up until Summer 1999 in which he achieved a grade A. He also performed very well in all of his other exams at the end of Secondary School and set his sights for Coulsdon College.
Sami Cetin attended Coulsdon College to study A-Levels and pursued his interests still in becoming an airline pilot. However the mathematics and physics subjects had lost interest for Sami this year due to how demanding and difficult they were and he was unable to continue with these subjects. He then restarted Coulsdon the year after in September 2000 with fresh subjects that he performed well in and enjoyed at GCSE; these were Computing, Business Studies and German. Although he had lost contact with his school friends for these few years he met many more people between 2000-2001 and had both happy and sad moments during his A-Level studies. From late 2001 Sami started going out to bars with a few friends and then bumped into his old friends Jonathan "Biff" Sifleet and John Barber from school and since then has stayed in touch with them regularly. He also met Jason Mathoora in College who was one of the few people he kept in touch with from College when leaving in Summer 2002. By this age although his asthma never cleared it had improved a little since childhood, so Sami thought it was time to develop a new hobby and began training in the gym with weights as he was underweight and also improved his cardiovascular by inventing his own training methods such as running after buses. At first his weight training started at home but it later moved to a small gym in his College. Sami became involved in some small film projects of Jason's to relive some of the acting he done as a child in primary school but this time with several different themes. In their free time on weekends and particularly evenings the group enjoyed many fun evenings out with many good, not to mention hilarious memories.
After passing his A-Levels Sami was able to attend the University of Kent at Canterbury to studying his degree course in Computing and Business Administration where he moved away from home for 3 years (returning to visit friends and family during holiday periods or a few weekends). The course began in September 2002 and lasted until June 2005 with his last exams finishing a month early. Sami continued his gym training by taking it more seriously involving a strict diet that lasted the 3 years of his University time. He made several friends during his time at University and involved some of them into his gym training programmes that he wrote himself. By the 2nd year he had a training group of 5 or 6 people. He felt this was a good way to wind down after the day's study and also a chance to be a part of something active that he could not do as a child. Sami spent more time socialising on several nights out and working on his Uni projects in the various Computer rooms and the library. He enjoyed nights out in the main Uni bar weekly and also every Monday on a regular basis in a popular student bar in town. These were the happiest days of his life and he will continue to miss them very much as the days go by. Sami then graduated in 2005 after sucessfully completing a 102 page dissertation and final exams and he then went on to work full time in the City of London. Following his graduation he went to see Star Wars Episode III in the cinema which he had been looking forward to see during all of his University years and saw it as a present for himself for recahing the end of his studying career. Sami did visit Canterbury a few times the following year to see a few friends remaining there but has not visited since 2006 due to the changes there since he had been studying and living as a student there.
