Having friends is one of the most important parts of life. True friends are there when you need them. They are like rungs on a ladder. They help us up when we are down and help us climb higher when we are not.
If you learn nothing more in this world than the meaning of friendship then you have gained more wisdom than you could learn in any book.
As you go through life there will be many people who tell you they are your friend. Your only true friends are the ones that show you. Value them. They are the people who make life amazing.
