    Hola amigos,
    Could you please translate this text to Spanish? Muchas gracias

    Ahmet çelik, a friend of my grandfather was born in İstanbul in 5th of July in 1945. In 1951, he began school. He was a hardworking student and his grades were very well. When he was at high school, he started to play piano. Then, he entered the University of İstanbul and he studied Economy. After he graduated from university, he started to work in a commercial company. From 1968 to 1975, he worked in that company. It was an international company and he was responsible for the economic affairs of the company in both inside and outside. At the age of 30, he decided to hold a bachelor’s degree (make master).
    In 1977 he finished his studies and started to work in another company. At that company, he met his wife and they fell in love with each other. In 1980 they got married and then he changed his work. By the way, he had his first child in 1984 and his little child was born 3 years later. When he was working, he made various sports like tennis, football and aerobics. In addition, he dealt with history and mythology and he read various books about these subjects. Also, he liked spending time with his family at the weekends.
    Now he’s retired and lives in Beykoz with his family. Both of his children are in university. The old one studies Psychology and the other studies Tourism Administration. He is a very dynamic person because he still makes sports and he runs every day in the morning. Also, he has so much experience about life. In his spare times, he runs and reads books. In addition, he goes on playing piano which he started when he was at high school and he plays it very well.

    Merhaba!

    Ahmet Celik, un amigo de mi abuelo, nació en Estambul el 5 de Julio de 1945. En 1951, comenzó la escuela. Fue un estudiante muy trabajador y con muy buenos grados. Cuando ingresó a la escuela secundaria, empezó a tocar el piano.

    Más tarde, ingresó a la Universidad de Estambul y estudió Economía. Después de su graduación, empezó a trabajar en una empresa comercial. Desde 1968 a 1975, trabajó en esa empresa que fue internacional y estuvó a cargo de los asuntos económicos internos y externos. A la edad de 30, decidió a obtener su MA.

    En 1977 concluyó sus estudios y empezó a trabajar en otra empresa. En esa empresa conoció a su esposa y se enamorarón. En 1980, se casarón y luego cambió de trabajo. Por cierto, tuvó su primera hija (su primer hijo) en 1984 y la hija (el hijo) menor nació 3 años más tarde.

    Mientras trabajaba, era activo en muchos deportes, como tenis, fútbol y aeróbic. Sobre eso,
    leyó varios libros sobre la mitología y la historia. También disfrutó mucho pasarlo con su familia los fines de semana.

    Ahora esta jubilado y vive con su familia en Beykoz. Ambos hijos están en la universidad. La hija (el hijo) mayor estudia Psicología y la hija (el hijo) menor estudia Administración del Turismo. Es una persona muy dinámica porque aún desempeña el deporte y corre todos los días por la mañana. También tiene una gran experiencia acerca de la vida. En su tiempo libre, corre, lee libros y sigue tocando el piano, lo cual lo empezó a hacerlo cuando era estudiante de colegio secundario.

    NOTE 1: in Spanish you need to identify if child is female/male, so please change accordingly what appears in brackets.

    NOTE 2: sorry, but not sure how to say Master's Degree in Spanish. Also not sure if running in the aerobic context = correr.

    NOTE 3: for ease of translation, i separated into paragraphs, however, you can adjust as you see fit.
