:DHelllo everyone.

I'm new to the forum.
My interview is in 12 days, here in Lagos.


My sponsor happens to be a family friend and I have been reading through the blog and through everyone's transcripts. Does it matter who sponsors? Will the fact that the person sponsoring is not a relative raise eyebrows with the VO? What reasons can I give for a family friend sponsoring my program that will sound congent.
Responses please
Gracias!
