This Tuesday, our class had planned and executed the senior prom at Casa Manana. It went pretty well; the seniors looked like they had a lot of fun dancing to wholesome music, drinking champagne and enjoying some decadent desserts. Personally, this was a good time for me to destress and just live in the moment, considering that I had a hectic workday.
Setting up for the prom was nice and simple. All we just had to do was put up some decorations, set up the photobooth and place the dessert table. Set up was so easy because the employees at Casa Manana was doing most of the work for us, so it wasn’t really stressful. The decorations were cute and very wholesome. It was a bit irritating trying to use painter’s tape to stick the decorations on the walls, though.
During the prom, we spent a bit of time dancing with the seniors. Honestly, I felt a bit awkward because I didn’t have the energy/motivation/comfort to dance with all the seniors present. However, after speaking with some of them, they felt really happy watching us dance because it felt refreshing for them to see young people dancing again.
For me, I really enjoyed hosting the raffle because I was able to use my comedic and MC’ing skills to entertain the crows. I think that I added a level of energy to the prom because everyone looked amused and had lots of fun, so I felt that I did my job for this prom. I hope that the success of this prom will translate to the success of the West Senior Center Prom this Saturday.
