Discover the wisdom of our student, Santa Valentine Kaze, on the meaning of True Friendship

Friendship is more than laughs and fun,

It’s being there when the joy is gone.

It’s not just smiles or sending a text,

It’s showing up when life gets complex.

A real friend stands when you feel low,

They hear the things you don’t dare show.

They walk with you through storms and fears,

They wipe your doubts and catch your tears.

No gold, no fame—just truth and care,

They’re still around when none are there.

They lift you up, they call you out,

They know your silence, not just your shout.

They stay through change, through quiet nights,

They help you heal, they hold you tight.

Even if distance grows too wide,

True friendship finds ways to stay beside.

So value those who know your name,

But love you more than looks or fame.

A friend like that is hard to find—

A treasure, rare, a heart, a mind.
