![]() By: Alyssa Becerra On April 14, 2018 KSJC senior and junior prom was held at Hotel Valencia located on Santa Row in San Jose. Formally, everyone knows prom to be a grand and marvolus dance for juniors and seniors that happens at the end of the year to create a memory that’ll last a lifetime. Over the course of four years, prom had been something that I was looking forward to doing. Having the opportunity to go to prom is something that has allowed some students have the “High school” experience. On the day of prom, for most students it’s a stressful, exciting, amazing day all in one emotion. There are steps that lead up to the day of prom. The ticket expense, buy the dress or tux, the pictures, the flowers and many more things that factor into spending a lot of money on just that one day. For many of the girl students there was a mixture of emotions. Stressful was one of the major ones for the girls. Arely Saavedra said,” I found my dress the day before prom, it is one of the most stressful things that I have done in a while”. This is probably suggesting that it is extremely hard to look for a dress for prom. For the men I was talking to my good friend Arturo Lopez and he said that he had found his tux in a matter of one to two weeks before prom. The amount of responsibilities that are put into prom not only for the students but also the people who are in the prom committee. The people who are in charge of the prom had to look for a location, theme, and many more places that factor into having an amazing prom. The day of prom is the most exciting for many students. I know that many of the girls were getting ready since ten in the morning. As for the guys they did the normal routine of getting a haircut and freshening up before the pictures. The well known places to take pictures for prom is the Rose Garden and the Egyptian Garden. For many of my friends they went to the Rose Garden to capture the perfect images. Being able to go to a good location to take pictures is something that is very important because when students grow older and they want to look back to the day that they went to prom, they aren’t going to have any regret when it comes to the location. Another factor that is super important for the day of prom is your date or the group of people that you plan or going with. The importance of going with someone that has the same energy as you is very important because you wouldn’t want to be stuck with a person who doesn’t want to dance or at least take a picture . Fortunately I went with a family friend and met up with friends later on to take pictures. As of other students that day they did the same thing, meet up with friends to take memorable pictures with and later on arrive to prom at the same time. For KSJC prom it started at seven in the evening to eleven at night. Once you arrived there are tables all over the room and a dance floor in the center of the room. There was a buffet of Italian food and a dessert table to clench your sweet tooth. Other parts of the room was the photo booth. For the photo booth, it was a flipbook that was seven seconds long to capture the moments all at once. During the whole event there was music playing to keep a vibe in the room. At the end of the night ha selected teacher was chosen to announce the junior and senior prom king and queen. Before people started leaving I had the chance to ask them if there was something they would want to change from prom what would it be, about 70% of the students that I asked said that they would’ve wanted more people to go and the other 30% had different opinions. For example not having the teachers table in front of the dance floor was somewhat a common one. Also having a variety of desserts for after the food was another choice. To improve prom for the following years to come, talking to students around campus can help out the ideas for that night. Going with someone that will enjoy the night as much as you is also something to think about before that day comes. But the most important thing is to have a great time with the people you have grown with for the past four years and make memories that you won’t be able to forget and look back for enjoyment.
