Have you ever been in a one mythical promenade? There will never be as haunting as that night. It’s every high school teens’ dream to be on a prom and we surely made that day wonderful. Whatever we did, we made sure that it’ll make us happy. For one evening; we were teenagers that lived like were going to die tomorrow, and most of all; we enjoyed everything that we can never do again after we graduated. Everything about our prom is magical. That’s why my prom night was an unforgettable event because of its atmosphere and all of the memories.

The cold shadowy evening joined with the cheerful round yellow fairy lights created an enchanted scene for the rest of the night. The place was bursting with coral pink flowers paired

So we did everything we can to make the night the finest. My friends and I were gleefully dancing at the center of the hall with twirling neon green lasers, blinking circular white lights and rainbow-colored Aztec-printed lasers; arms reaching high, fingers spread, head held up high and we moved symmetrically with the coolest and most played mixes. We were bare-footed, jumping with our arms thrown in the air, singing the lyrics unintentionally and pulling some irrational steps that doesn’t even exist. Its freezing and we were all sweaty after that crazy disco. After the DJ removed the party mixes, he dropped the passionate music that completes the atmosphere of the couples since the night was cold and shady. It was perfect scenery for them; the lights changed with fuchsia pink floral prints in the light swirling around the hall, the smoke was sprayed and the bubbles started to flew. Gentlemen started to walk and ask the ladies to dance with them. Couples swayed back and forth, side by side; embraced with each other. The lass steadily wrapped her arms around him with her right hand locked with the lad’s. The music began playing. They turned, dipped within the beats, they moved with every muscle of their bodies with affection. He twirled her around within the music and dance with her in many random beats. After the romantic tunes were slipped away in the ether, the grooving music played again and the beats gone like “boom boom bibap bibap”, the lights were changed into lasers that were neon blue that time and we sang proudly with the beats as we walked again to dance. And the rest of the night was a blast, after the ball; they all just slept snoring at full volume on the icy floor of our classroom. Then there’s me, smiling like an idiot because in that moment I knew; my high school was worth remembering

    On September 9th I attended a Phi Slam event called Kaleidoscopic Color-Dressed Chromatic Dance Fest. This was a social dance event that is completely dry and it is essentially a giant dance party. The guys in Phi Slam, which is a Christian organization that is similar to a fraternity but they do not do typical frat things such as drinking, hazing or smoking, set up the event. Phi Slam has events just like fraternities and sororities do. This event was just one of the many events they put on throughout the year.…

    Loud beats, shouts and footsteps fill my ears, and an awful stench of sweat makes it’s way into my nose, but this dance studio is a special place nonetheless. It may seem hectic and rowdy to some people, but not to me. An environment I entered so cautiously at first started to become natural and safe. I had never thought I would spend so much time in this place doing something I loved. I would not forget how the first day went.…

    People danced around, while others ate and talked. It was filled with a pleasant hum and laughter. A hush fell over the room when the Queen walked in.

    The room itself was grand and ancient, with walls of rough hewn stone, polished granite floors, and a ceiling as high as ten men. There were eight long tables, the shortest on a raised dais along the far wall, and seven more set orthogonal to the first and extending to the entry. Sheaves of wheat and sprays of spring blooms adorned the walls, and cornucopias spilled fruits, nuts and candies onto each table. There were dancers, at least a dozen of them, draped loosely in silks of gold and rich green, ribbons of fabric that swayed as they swayed, dipped as they dipped, and fluttered about them as they spun. Along walls and in corners, on tables and among revelers, they danced in time to a rhythmic tune—singly and in pairs and trios, all moving with an agile grace, seducing guests with limber acrobatics and inviting smiles.…

    At the beginning of Prom Night in Mississippi, I was absolutely baffled and shocked by all the rules and lies, used to separate both races in Charleston, Mississippi. Certain lies and rules such as, whites suspecting that all blacks behold a gun; both races should not be seen hanging out together etc. For example in the documentary a white and black girl assimilated in a conflict, where the white girl claimed that the black girl had a gun and had intentions to use it against her. Or Jessica, a white student, being punished by her stepfather for having a black friend. In 1992, Morgan Freeman, a famous actor from Charleston, Mississippi, arrived to Charleston high school where he offered to pay all the expenses for an integrated prom, but his…

Everyone was chit chatting until it was show time.…

    Wise Money Choices + College Costs = Minimal Stress I cannot believe I have made it this far this quickly. It feels like just yesterday when I was accepting my diploma from Mr. Salvatore, my middle school principal and crying while hugging friends who I knew would be attending a different high school than I. Then, on that hot September day, walking through what I thought must have been the biggest school in the state of New Jersey, I got lost, made new friends, and college was but a dwarfed blip on my radar, far, far away from the center of my mind. Subsequently, in tenth grade, Union High School became smaller and my excitement for graduation was planted by the upperclassmen’s conversations about the upcoming prom and graduation.…

    Graduation was a time to celebrate my achievements, to celebrate growing up and maturing into adulthood, to celebrate my friends and family that guided me along the way, and most importantly to celebrate one chapter coming to an end, and another one just beginning. The night before graduation I could hardly sleep as I knew that my high school career would soon be over. I got up that next morning, took a shower, put my makeup on, straightened my hair, and put my favorite black dress on, only this time I had my chords, cap, and gown to go with it.…
