"Genius"
I open my eyes on a Friday morning in the beautiful city of Yerevan, Armenia. I am born. A football soon follows my first steps. I sleep with a football and a pair of boots by my bedside. It is now the year 2001, I am 8 years old and find myself stood in the middle of a football pitch in Wolfenbüttel, Germany. Together, with children of all nations, I am playing the beautiful game that has only one language. Fast forward 7 years and it's my first sports lesson in Manchester, England. I look around me and I see young children who just want to play the beautiful game. I speak no English, they speak no German. But on the pitch we know exactly what the other says. I am now at university in Freiburg, Germany. Again, I meet my best friends through football. This is our vision. Regardless of where you come from, GrowTogether stands for diversity.
