JS Promenade

"Look at them. They all transformed into gorgeous lades and handsome gentlemen."
These were the words that I heard from a teacher when I was in second year high school. The pictures of the students taken from the Sacred Heart School were posted near the UP High entrance gate. I knew before that it was their JS Prom, and the Juniors and Seniors were paited up and they were all dressed in gowns and suites, but I did not know what was with the JS Prom then that students from the Third Year and Fourth Year found it memorable and unforgettable night, until I heard news from them that JS Prom is enjoyable and students should not miss it.
When I was in my third year high school, the first thing that kept me on thinking from it is the JS Prom. I was really excited before that I could imagine myself that it was our JS Prom and I was wearing a long gown and then my crush went to my table and asked me to dance with him.
And as my junior days went by, I got really excited and somehow, worried because we had to ay a big amount of money because the venue and the food were quiet expensive.
One day, our teacher told us to gather in the covered court. Then ,we were paired up to the seniors. Then from that time on, we kept on practicing walking with our partners, while wearing our sandals. A first, it was really difficult to wear a pair of sandals with three-inched high heels. But we had to get used to it. We also practiced dancing waltz. It was tiring but we had fun with our partners.
It was then the big night. The JS Promenade. The night that we were all waiting for. When we reached the Waterfront Hotel, we saw a total transformation of our batchmates, including the seniors. Then, the venue was really elegant, ad the food was delicious. But the most awaited part of the students in the program was the dancing part. As expected, the boys were getting their girlfriends and partners from their tables to the dancefloor, and they were dancing. I guessed all of us enjoyed that night including the teachers. Indeed, JS Promenade was really a treasured night for all of us students. Missing this nght would mean missing a half of your life.
