Actual Test

down to earth (not thinking she is better than others). Even though she is a 
highly educated and intelligent person, she would never use these qualities to 
be condescending to another person.

We first met back in 2016 in a month-long, intensive Spanish class in Cusco, 
Peru. The nature of our class there was very open, causing us to share private 
details about our lives and even embarrassing stories, so this made it easier to 
get closer as a class. We spent 7 hours a day together in that class, along with 
about 10 others, so I would say we got to know each other very well. When we 
broke into (divided) groups, we would often work together which always went 
well. I felt that she was always a helpful classmate, never one to make you feel 
dumb for not knowing an answer. After the class, we remained close friends 
throughout our entire year in Cusco. During that entire time, she never did 
anything that rubbed me the wrong way (to make angry).
With all this said, this is why I would enjoy studying or working with Veronica. I 
feel that she would always remain sincere, regardless of any cutthroat (bad 
intentions) workplace environment or competitive or prestigious (of high 
class) academia. Furthermore, I feel that she would always be there to help me 
out, and I would never worry that she would be conniving. Lastly, I see that she 
is a hard-working, dedicated person, so that would make her an even better 
candidate. Since we already have some experience as classmates and even 
more as friends, this is why I chose to talk about her.
