My High School Prom

Yesterday was one of the best days of my life. I had my high school prom. It was an amazing evening where I got to spend time with friends, have a laugh and dance. It was great to see everyone dressed up for the event. It was strange at first being all dressed up for prom because usually I don’t wear makeup, heels or dresses but I loved it as I felt grown up and pretty. I don’t think we get enough opportunities to get all dressed up like we can for prom.

 

I had my hair and makeup done for prom. Because I don’t usually wear makeup and I wanted my hair curled especially for prom, I thought it would be best to have someone else do my hair and makeup rather than me stressing about doing it all myself. I went with some of my friends to get our hair and makeup done. Then I came home to get ready and had photographs with my Mum, Nanny and Grandad. I love the photographs with my family because the three of them are important to me as they are the people who have always been there for me and been a huge part of my life and I am glad I celebrated my prom with them.

I travelled to prom with a group of friends in a vintage car. All of my friends looked great in their dresses and without realising we had all somehow colour coordinated our outfits. It was fantastic seeing everyone when we arrived at the venue. I was able to spend the evening celebrating with all of my friends and my year group. We all had group photographs and we all danced. I am proud to say I danced in my heels all night. I have a lot of brilliant photographs and memories from last night.

One thing I do find sad is that my Dad forgot it was my prom. I still haven’t heard back from him which is a shame because prom was important to me and I would have liked him to have been part of the day. Even if he had only sent me a text wishing me good luck I would have been happy. But this didn’t stop me from having the best time at my prom.

Today I have been looking back at photographs and thinking, “wow, did that really happen? Is that me?” I feel very lucky to have had such a good day. One project for the summer is to make an album full of memories from my last year at high school. This will make sure I don’t forget all of the memories.
