She exudes a calm, composed presence, always appearing in control\u2014without haste, without agitation, yet with incredible efficiency. Felicia doesn\u2019t impose herself through grand speeches or dramatic gestures, but rather through a subtle intelligence that is felt in everything she does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A teacher, psychologist, and entrepreneur, Felicia is the founder of the Junior School educational network, a project that redefines education standards for children, creating a modern, warm, and inspiring learning environment. But she didn\u2019t stop there\u2014her desire to support children\u2019s harmonious development led her to co-found Kilostop Junior, Romania\u2019s first nutrition clinic for children, where nutritional education and health become part of a conscious lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Behind her slightly mysterious aura and friendly smile is a woman who has chosen to be a real support for the community. Through her media presence, active involvement in parenting and education projects, and contributions to social inclusion, Felicia proves that true success means impact\u2014an impact that changes lives and shapes the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Over time, I have been deeply impressed by the way she embraces each role with natural ease: leader, mentor, friend. She is always open, ready to help, never demanding, never expecting anything in return. This blend of professionalism, vision, and generosity makes Felicia not just a role model but also a source of inspiration for all who know her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This is just a glimpse into her story. Through this interview, I aim to unravel a bit of the mystery surrounding Felicia Akkaya and offer those who have not yet had the chance to meet her\u2014and myself\u2014the opportunity to better understand who she truly is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>How would you describe yourself in just a few words?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Ambitious, curious, and with a healthy dose of perfectionism (sometimes annoying for those around me, I admit!). I love learning, building things, and believing that every day brings a new lesson. Oh, and I am a big fan of planning\u2014but life always shows me that not everything can be neatly placed in colorful tables!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What was Felicia like as a child? What did you enjoy doing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I was the kind of child who asked a thousand questions and never accepted a simple \u201cbecause that\u2019s just how it is!\u201d I loved reading, playing \u201cbusiness\u201d (I tried selling my drawings to my parents), and if I was left alone, I would create my own stories and scenarios. In short, I dreamed big and believed that anything was possible\u2014a mindset I still try to keep today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If you no longer had to work at all, what would an ordinary day look like for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Let\u2019s be honest\u2014I don\u2019t think I could ever completely stop doing something useful. But if I were to have a more relaxed pace, I would start my morning with a good coffee (without the usual rush), read something interesting, spend time with my family, and travel. I would learn new things just for the sake of learning, without deadlines or stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>How do you choose your businesses and projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Very simply: if I wake up in the morning excited about a project, it\u2019s a good sign. If I feel like I\u2019m forcing myself to do it, it\u2019s a bad sign. I choose things that challenge me, that make sense, and that can create change. Money is important, but if a project doesn\u2019t also bring emotional fulfillment, it just becomes a job. And I don\u2019t want a job\u2014I want a mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What do you consider a \u201cwaste of time\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Complaining instead of looking for solutions. Spending hours on social media without realizing where the time went. Wasting energy on people who don\u2019t inspire you or who drain your enthusiasm. In short, anything that doesn\u2019t bring you value and leaves you thinking, \u201cWhy did I even do that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>But what is time invested wisely?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Any activity that helps me grow. Learning, meeting new people, creating something useful, helping someone, laughing with my family. And, of course, getting good sleep\u2014I think we often underestimate the power of quality rest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What is the most important lesson you\u2019ve learned from education?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">That you can\u2019t force anyone to learn unless you spark their curiosity. Education isn\u2019t about pouring information into someone\u2019s head\u2014it\u2019s about showing them that learning is a superpower. And that, in fact, when you learn with joy, it doesn\u2019t feel like \u201cschool\u201d but rather an ongoing adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Do you believe there\u2019s a clear boundary between personal and professional life?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Not really. It\u2019s like trying to separate sugar from coffee after you\u2019ve mixed it. When you love what you do, it\u2019s impossible not to think of new ideas even while on vacation. However, I do try to give myself breaks and be present in important moments with my loved ones. Balance is more of a continuous juggling act than a strict line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Do you have a special self-care routine?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I\u2019m not the type to spend hours in front of the mirror, but I do believe that self-care is an act of respect toward yourself. I have a few simple habits: a skincare routine, wearing clothes that make me feel good, and\u2026 drinking plenty of water! Other than that, I think attitude and inner state are the best \u201cbeauty products.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>How much has physical appearance helped you in your career?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Of course, we live in a world where first impressions matter, but I believe that after the first ten seconds, it\u2019s no longer about how you look\u2014it\u2019s about what you convey. You can be the most elegant person in the room, but if you don\u2019t have charisma, authenticity, and emotional intelligence, you won\u2019t leave a lasting impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>As a mother, how do you define success for your children?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I don\u2019t think success is measured in diplomas or bank accounts but in how happy they are with what they do. I want them to be independent, to find their own path, and to have confidence in themselves. If they wake up excited about life and not just about \u201cchecking off responsibilities,\u201d then they\u2019ve succeeded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What do you wish to leave behind?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I\u2019d love for people to remember me as someone who made a difference. Not necessarily on a global scale, but in the lives of those I met. If I managed to inspire someone to believe in themselves more, to follow their dreams, or to see education as an adventure, then I consider my mission fulfilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Felicia Akkaya is the kind of person who fascinates you from the very first encounter.
