He lived with his grandparents in Edirne for the first few years of his life and moved to Istanbul to live with his parents when his younger brother was born. For the first five years of elementary school, Baybars’ class teacher was his mother. Because of her reputation as a good teacher, the principal would give her the best classes and the best students. As the teacher’s son, Baybars was expected to set the bar for his classmates. He was expected to work harder and perform at a higher level than the other students so that he could get into a good high school. His strongest subject was math. In his second year of high school he was assigned a project that was well beyond the standard curriculum: displaying quadratic equations with two unknowns on the coordinate axis. The teacher was so impressed with the finished project that he personally delivered it to the prestigious Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK). During his high school years he worked part-time at a carpet shop, earning a bonus on every carpet he sold, and he also sold postcards to tourists to earn spending money.〔http://iipdigital.usembassy.gov/st/english/mobile/2010/04/20100423091010sjrro0.3983728.html#axzz2hts7QK2K〕 Immediately after graduation, he started working as an office clerk in a travel agency. Not long after starting that job, he won admission to the prestigious university in Turkey, Bosphorus University.
