A MAGICAL MOMENTUM TO REMEMBER 

“Leave nothing but footprints alone”

         Sweet perfumes are all over. Tuxedos and Americana are flooding in an area. Bonggacious gowns and party outfits are stumped in the corner. Magical lights, sweet music, enchanted decorations, romantic flowers on the floor, together with our lovely teachers. Do you remember this scenery in your high school? It sure does. This is the night where everyone is all been waiting for. This is the night where every senior are gathered together; a night to celebrate, a night to strengthen more the camaraderie, a night to showcase every talent, a night to cry and smile, a night to appreciate every little and a night to every senior. The Senior’s Night!

        Dugss! Dugss! Dance over here. Dance over there. Dance! Dance! And Dance…… Party all around.

        As my perception about all senior’s night. Yes! Who could have been thought of a senior’s night without the word PARTY? Probably it is. But when I actually experience it, it’s not just a party really. There is something magical in there that every senior tried to treasure the memories until forever.

         Every senior prepared a lot for this momentum event and so do I. I do a lot of preparations. I fixed my hair to where I would look the best. I choose the dress to where I would look beautiful and dazzling to the eyes of everybody. I choose my shoes to where I would stand out. I walk confidently and elegant for them to recognize me. I did my best preparing for this event just to impress them of what I have. I just only want to be PERFECT! Above all, I just only want to be beautiful. I just only care about my outside looks, just like everybody else does.

         As I was about to enter the gymnasium, I was astonish to see everyone with their beautiful faces shining in their marvelous attire. The gym was all set up with red and white roses, turning into an enchanted garden of fairytales. The sweet music was echoing all around. It was perfect. We immediately started it with a mass to give thanks to the Almighty God giving us the chance to enjoy this momentum event. We are all showered and blessed with God’s grace.  As the president of the body speak off, all eyes are into her. We are all astounded that most of us cried. It was a great speech we’ve ever heard. The different clubs showed some performance that is very impressive. Everybody is really talented. But the most awaited highlight of the promenade was the Cotillion, where the talented dancers show up their struts in the open dance floor. Their move was worth gazing upon even though one of the members lost her heels and headdress. However, I know they enjoyed it a lot. Also the most awaited part of the ceremony is where all seniors are gathered up together to show our uncaboggable talent in dancing. Mixed of emotions run in my veins as I look each senior wearing their precious and beautiful smile as they kick the dance floor. 

        Indeed! This event mark the unbreakable bond of every senior. Where incredible dresses and tuxidos, gorgeous and expensive shoes are really not the main highlight. We really don't need to impress others, we really don't need to brag what we have. It is the priceless smile that counts the most. It is the never ending happiness it brought to every senior. It is the memories that shared that inspires each other.

        Leave nothing but footprints alone. Footprints that would be able to inspire and encourage other seniors and even the lower batches. Footprints that would mark the distinction of a true happiness. 

        Our JS Promenade was the finest one that we’ve ever had and the Seniors will surely be treasured in the rest of their lives. A magical moment to remember.
