"Life is partly what we make it, and partly what is made by the friends whom we choose. Good friends may hard to find, but once found they are impossible to forget and hard to lose." I have always been a believer in the power of friendships and the amazing ability to rise to any occasion. I believe that friendship is about defying the odds that the world has set against us. Times can be tough...and we need people to help get us through it all. We need to realize that along the way, we will need someone to be by our side...a true friend. I also believe that true friends may not always be the ones that you see every day . Society today makes it easy to lose the true meaning of having a friend...and being a friend. Many have come to assume that if we know someone's name and say hello to them every day ...then we are true friends. We associate friendship with brief encounters of human contact. The world has become so fast paced that we are too busy to stop for ...
