Yeah, so the question starts by saying that I have to describe a person from my own place who had won a prize, a award or medal. I’m gonna start off talking about my best friend from high school. Her name is Daniela. She’s actually a college student. She is about doing her bachelor’s degree in international business. She got recently an award. She got a scholarship with 50% off to pay for her master’s abroad. And all of this is because she got the best academic background as well as an excellent score in the government exam that all Colombians have to take. So that’s basically why she got it. I’m so happy for her and I think that she was the right person to get it. Why? Because I’ve seen her struggling through her career, sacrificing her free time that she can spend with her friends, family and others. But she prioritized her studies always because she wanted to be someone that can give her best of herself. So I really admired that from her and that’s what I chose her. When I read this topic, I immediately thought about her because this award will give her the opportunity to basically go and try something new. She never had trouble abroad. So she’s so excited about that. She is practicing the new language. She’s actually checking for different universities and I’m so proud of her as well as her parents are so, so, so happy which makes me happy because that’s who a truly friend is. So yeah, that’s basically the person I chose.

Yeah, so the question starts by saying that I have to describe a person from my own place who has won a prize, an award, or a medal. I'm going to start off talking about my best friend from high school. Her name is Daniela. She's actually a college student. She is pursuing her bachelor's degree in international business. She recently received an award. She got a scholarship covering 50% of her master's abroad. All of this is because she has the best academic background as well as an excellent score on the government exam that all Colombians have to take. So that's basically why she received it. I'm so happy for her, and I think she was the right person to get it. Why? Because I've seen her struggle through her career, sacrificing her free time that she could spend with her friends, family, and others. But she always prioritized her studies because she wanted to give her best. I really admire that about her, and that's why I chose her. When I read this topic, I immediately thought about her because this award will give her the opportunity to try something new. She has never traveled abroad, so she's very excited about that. She is practicing the new language and checking for different universities. I'm so proud of her, and her parents are so, so, so happy, which makes me happy because that's what a true friend is.
