July 30 is International Day of Friendship. On this day, the United Nations attempts to bring people together and battle against division through friendship. Making friends and enjoying their company is a big part of a social life. When we are young children, it is easy to meet new people and make friends. As we get older, it can be harder to make connections. It is important to realize what a true friend does. Sometimes, we forget what is important in a friendship.
