Prom is going to be popping its worth all of the money and the running around that i have been doing with my friends....i am going with my bestfriend Saleem and we gonna turn that prom upside down.

Prom better not be a waste of time. i invested a lot of money into this thing and was very costly. so it better be worthwhile!!!!!!!!

Prom is whatever you make it out to be. it can be a privilege but more of a right because you did pay for it

Shanika T said...

I can't wait wait until prom. I I'm waiting to see how many people will attend. I am going with myself, and I'm wearing royal blue and silver. To me it's a right, because we deserve to do something fun as a school together our last year.

To me prom is a privilege because you have to work for things in life, but i'm not going to prom, but for every body else i hope it is fun and something everybody that is going to look forward to although i wanted to go i'm not.

Mark E. said...

I am looking forward to prom, my thoughts on this years prom is that its going to do one thing cause all my friends are going. Im going to prom with someone who doesnt go here, i am wearing white. it is worth all the $$ like its the last event of our high school years. Prom is both a privilege and a right we deserver this one event to celebrate us as a class.

I think prom is going to be alot of fun because i will be there with all my friends, no i don't think that it is a waste of time.I am going with my friend and i'm wearing a dress its really pretty lol.I think that prom is a privilage because you should have to work in order to be in things like this.

kIara :^] said...

I cant wit until prom because i think I'm going to have fun with all my friends for the last time...i hope its not a waste of time because its my last year an I'm tryna make my last time amazing

Falante said...

Prom is going to be good because im going to be there. It is worth the time but not the money. Im going with ramika and prom is a right because seniors deserve to do something special with there friends for their last year.

LaMirra said...

I think prom is the worth all the time and the money because you only get to do this once....i think you should go all out for a once in a lifetime thing...like graduating from the 12 th grade....im going with my best friend / cousin. I think its gonna be fun. i do think its earned, like if you dont do work, why should you get to celebrate nd have fun with your friends.

Ronald Parker said...

I'm not lookin forward to prom because i'm not going to it cause to me its a big waste of time and money to buy all this stuff buy a rental only for one night.

Unknown said...

i think that the easiest part of my senior year is coming to school.. the hardiest part was the senior project and presenting it.

Monique Cann said...

Prom is going to be fun. I am really excited. I think it is a little too costly but on the other hand I really don't mind. I am going with my boyfriend.
