On Tuesday, February 26th, the Life Course Scholars Class set up and attended a Senior Prom at the Casa de Manana retirement community. When I arrived, the prom had already begun. The room looked really nice and I could tell that my classmates put in a lot of effort to put up the Rock n’ Roll themed decorations. The photoshoot corner was interesting. It seemed like the seniors really liked wearing the props and getting a polaroid to take with them. I got there just in time for the raffle. Joey did an amazing job as MC. I couldn’t stop laughing and I’m sure the seniors were entertained as well. I was paying attention to one particular senior in the back. Every time a ticket was called that wasn’t his he would make a face and I was just rooting for him the entire time.
After the raffle, the band started playing and a few seniors got up to dance. It was an interesting choice of music. As the night progress, more seniors got up and danced. I would say that towards the end pretty much every student who were left joined in on the dancing. It was nice to see the energy in the room. I had the opportunity to talk to a few ladies and they both said they had so much fun (one even complained about how her husband was boring because he wouldn’t dance with her). Overall, I think everyone had a good time and I’m glad I was able to make it.
