Blazing Trails of Legacy and Friendship: JS Prom '07

This year’s Junior- Senior promenade is really an event worth remembering. It is my second time to join a promenade but it feels like my first time because this year’s promenade is different from last year.

It feels like my first time because I still feel nervous while walking in front of the juniors, seniors and the teachers. I thought that it would be easier for me to walk gracefully down the aisle because I already had an experience but I was wrong. It is still not easy to walk with high-heeled sandals in front of so many people.

I really enjoyed the night because my tablemates are so humorous. I had a lot of fun during the dinner because we keep on talking on how to use properly the utensils. We are not acquainted to the correct uses of each utensil but thanks to Euvic; he taught us on when to use each utensil. I also enjoyed the accompany of the juniors because they are very open to us. They keep on sharing their hilarious experiences that made us laugh. I gained a lot of friends from the juniors during the promenade. Even though we only have little time, it seems like we are talking for almost a day because there are no boring moments.

I enjoyed the promenade because I had bonding moments with my fellow seniors during the disco. All of us are dancing as if no one is watching us. We are ecstatic during the disco. We are like dogs release from the doghouse. The juniors are still very shy. They are not able to jam with us during the disco because of their bashfulness.

I also enjoyed watching the teachers dance. They are like teenagers because they are very active in dancing.

During the last song of the disco, some of the seniors danced their special someone. However, most of the seniors dance as a group and I am one of them. I am part of the singles circle, a group of students who are still single.

That dance made me realized that you do not need somebody to make you happy. Being happy is a choice. If you chose to be sad because you do not have a partner, it is your decision. For me, you need not to have a partner to complete you as a person. There are more important things that we should focus than having a partner. We can find our perfect match at the right time. God already planned everything for us; we should just wait for it. Enjoy what we have now and thank God for all the blessings that he has given us. We should also be grateful that we have friends, somebody whom we can trust. Appreciate every single thing that they do for us. Never ever neglect their simple actions because those simple deeds are not worth it to be ignored. They should be treasured for a lifetime like diamonds. A true friend comes rarely. Grab the opportunity because you might regret and you will realize in the future that you already lost a million worth diamond.
