Generally speaking, I cannot say that I’m a person who often makes promises to other people because it’s very difficult to have that pressure of making something that is applicatory, so I don’t often make different promises. But I still remember one promise that I have made to one of my close friends and I’d like to talk about that case 200th day school card. Around nine months ago, I was sitting in the room with my best friend called Vasile and she’s a very capable girl. She’s a very good person with extraordinary skills and positive things that I really respect and adore in her. So she had to apply some documents to a full university, she had been dream jammed out for a long time. She had already prepared all her documents, but that was the last step to translate some of her certificates from school into English language as it’s mostly in university and all the documents must be in the English language. At first, I didn’t really know about it, but then she shared this problem and I knew English well and I could speak in it. I just had to help her visit and I met a promise to help her and after two weeks, we started doing it together. We used different sources and even went to a specific translation as sent her. So it took us around a month to do it, all of them, but at the end she was very happy with her final result. We sent her documents to the university and recently she got an application and she has accepted. I was over the moon and she had the roller coaster promotions and I’m happy that my things have brought some positiveness to her life and that I have made my promise and that I was a person who contributed her positive.

Generally speaking, I cannot say that I'm a person who often makes promises to other people because it's very difficult to have that pressure of making something that is applicable, so I don't often make different promises. But I still remember one promise that I made to one of my close friends, and I'd like to talk about that case. Around nine months ago, I was sitting in a room with my best friend, Vasile, and she's a very capable girl. She's a very good person with extraordinary skills and positive traits that I really respect and adore in her. She had to submit some documents to a university she had been dreaming about for a long time. She had already prepared all her documents, but that was the last step: to translate some of her certificates from school into English, as it's required by the university and all the documents must be in English. At first, I didn't really know about it, but then she shared this problem, and I knew English well and could speak it. I just had to help her, and I made a promise to assist her. After two weeks, we started working on it together. We used different resources and even went to a specific translation center. It took us around a month to complete everything, but in the end, she was very happy with the final result. We sent her documents to the university, and recently she received an acceptance letter. I was over the moon, and she had a roller coaster of emotions. I'm happy that my efforts brought some positivity to her life and that I kept my promise and contributed to her success.
