Prom nights, one event that every high school girl is so excited about. One night that each and every detail is carefully planned, dress that were carefully choose. As my mom asked my brother, " You're going to be a senior next enrollment, and you know this gonna be a prom night." My brother seems not into this kinda thing, and says ,"So, I don't think I will attend to that." As I heard this, memories of my own prom night played inside my head. Back in the Philippines when I was in my junior year, I didn't attended our prom night and my classmates who knows I won't be coming said, "why not come? it could be fun." Despite them encouraging me, I already made up my mind that I won't gonna come. Our teacher said it was okey though, but she also said that it's gonna be an experience, we, students are gonna treasure. It's a good part of a high school life. But still, I didn't attend. It was just after the prom that I got this strange feeling that I should have been there. This feeling that I've missed something. I can't even remember now on what reason why I didn't showed up. Then, senior year comes. And here's another prom night. I decided to attend to it and experience it for myself. I don't want to have that feeling again, that I've left out something important as a part of high school life. Almost 5 years had passed since that senior prom night but I still remember what happened and what I was wearing that night. A beautiful beige gown my dad already bought for me for that special night. I like the gown, it's pretty, but somehow it's ballon like style made me uncomfortable on some way. I just wish that I made more of the prom themes and prom decorations on this gown that I was wearing. Maybe in that way I should have feel more comfortable into it. Then my classmates arrive on our classroom, and my friends. They were all pretty in their own gowns, although there are some of my classmates who didn't dress appropriately on that night and had made a talk on the following day around the senior building. Now, everytime I look on my picture album with my high school friends, I would just smile as I look into myself wearing that prom dress. Not just that prom picture, every picture they have with me that I'm keeping on my album reminds me of memories I have with them, when we were all close friends. And now, back to my brother, I don't think he isn't gonna attend to his junior prom night, he already got a girlfriend now you know.
