This Saturday we hosted the Senior Prom that we have been planning for two months now. There was so much commotion in setting up because we were given a short amount of time to put everything together for the folks. I was in charge of putting the photobooth together and get the stations of activities (photo props, candy jar making, coloring station and tattoo making). We finished right in time and I felt that the event was a success! I was grateful that the Salsa Club was able to perform and get others to participate as well. It was refreshing to have students and older adults learn salsa together in a comfortable environment. During the hour of the prom, I was going to the audience and asking others to participate in the activities and photo booth. Some were more willing than others, but all in all, I was able to connect with many and everyone was grateful for the work that we did.
I do hope that next time the event could be a little bit longer. I feel that it was rushed to fit in a senior king and queen announcement, eat, do activities, dance, all while trying to connect and have fun with others. I wished I was able to rotate with another student so I can mingle and participate in the dancing for some portion of the event. All in all, I feel that the people who attended were grateful for the free food, gifts, and lottery prizes that were being passed out.
