A Day That Was

February 13, 2009. Friday the 13th. A day of bad luck for some believers. But still, that was a day that the Juniors and Seniors of ISNHS had the very much awaited JS Promenade. From this, I learned a lot. Eventhough the breeze of air outside was cold, inside the gymnasium was very hot, occupying girls transformed into ladies, and boys into men, who were dressed at their best. I believe that we are not only supposed to be mentally healthy but also to be socially and emotionally developed, too. I learned to deal with other people and never rejected them as long as they show me some respect. From that experience, I also received five bouquet and one card from a friend.

Tha JSP would have been perfect for me if only Almira did not get allergic with her dress. So I was picked as one of the contestants for the Search. My problem also was, I joined the Promenade, Grand March and Cottillion. So I got tired easily because I was not get to used my high-heeled sandals. I was also shocked when the lights were turned off and couples grabbed the chance to do the kissing and hugging thing. The time was very short also to enjoy the night being with our friends.

But these problems were nothing compared to the experiences and enjoyment I had. When I joined the Search, I thought of nothing but my classmates only staring at me inside our classroom as if I am answering a teacher's question just to lessen my nervousness. During the Lasies' Choice, I took a rest. And bera in mind that we didi not properli behaved so we really did not deserve an extension of time.

The Promenade ended succesfully, yet we Seniors will still be having the Seniors-Faculty Ball so I will have the chance again to deal with others through a social gathering.
