Are you prom queen material?

Prom is right around the corner, in fact, on Saturday. Our high school, like most, always votes for a prom queen and king. Prom court, homecoming court, and winter formal prince/princesses have been traditions for years.

On the ballot this year are actually people who are genuine. They are all around good-hearted people. They have school spirit, are always smiling, and are friends with everyone. It’s definitely not a popularity contest. I have realized that some people just deserve to be prom queen.

“Prom queen material” is a way to live your life.

“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”–Audrey Hepburn

1. Never be selfish to the point where it affects someone else.
2. Seek the good in others, not their flaws.
3. Be confident, but never too independent to ask for help and be gracious for what you are given.
4. Smile and appreciate your life, smile for others, smile for yourself.
5. Be a dreamer. Live with your hopes high and set the bar, knowing you can do anything.
