This past Tuesday we had our senior prom at Casa de Manana. I had a blast helping with setting up decorations and the photo booth backdrop. I was surprised by the turn out because I did not expect so many seniors to show up. Most of the seniors were reluctant to go to the dance floor and I noticed that whenever a senior did go up, they brought their partner with them. There were a couple of seniors in particular that were very lively and were dancing with the students or by themselves and it was refreshing to see everyone still having fun either watching others dance or dancing themselves. The seniors especially liked getting the raffle prizes. Their expressions were priceless and you can tell that these people still enjoyed the gifts. It will be interesting to compare how the West Center Prom will turn out. The next day, we had class. We spent most of the time listening to other people’s oral presentation on their extraordinary person. After thinking back to all of our oral presentations, I noticed that we all have extraordinary people who have gone through a lot in their lifetime as immigrants to create a future for themselves one way or another. I learned a lot more things about my dad’s aspirations and it gives me a newfound respect and love that I have for my dad. He is always a family oriented guy and he is constantly working hard to provide for my family to give me and my siblings a future. I see this same family-oriented person in all the other EP and it was nice to see that despite our differences and where we live, we still have similar stories.
