Now I Go Away on Travel with My Friends

My name is Abdurrahim Aydın and I am 18 years old. 
I am from Turkey.  I live in Istanbul.  I am a Special Olympics athlete and play on a Unified football team (as part of the Vodafone Foundation project).  I like football and am on a team at my school.  Playing football has made me more self confident.  I have friends on the team and we eat, drink and enjoy evenings together.  I went to Portugal in May to compete in the Special Olympics European Tournament.  Even though my team is like a big family and they support me I still got a little homesick when I was away.  I was very happy to see my mom when I got back to Istanbul.
