Sample Answer 

A childhood friend of mine is named Vanessa. We met in 3rd grade and instantly bonded. We connected over our shared love of art and drawing, and started to hang out in class as well as after school. Whenever we were together, we would always be drawing and creating art together, from painting to sketching.

We also loved playing sports together. We loved playing soccer, basketball, and even tennis. We would often challenge each other to games and compete to see who could score the most points. We also loved to go for walks together and talk about our dreams and aspirations. 

Vanessa was always so kind and caring. She was so understanding and never judged me, no matter what I was going through. She was always there to lend an ear and provide support. She was also a great listener and had a great sense of humor. 

I love Vanessa because she was always so positive and encouraging. She taught me to follow my dreams and never give up on them. She always put a smile on my face, and I will never forget her.
