Monologue
Posted by Sooyoung Jeon on November 3, 2014Hi! My name is Sooyoung Jeon. I am going to talk about my story. There is nothing special from other ordinary girls. Maybe I am a special girl in some sense. In some moment, I become so special to me. I felt proud of my self, worked hard to achieve my goals, and participated several activities. During high school, there was a moment that I actually enjoyed. Most of girls have one of the special day during high school. It is prom. Then the next special day might be wedding ceremony. Before prom, or wedding ceremony starts, girls prepare for their hair, dress, or even accessories with their all heart. Unfortunately, I did not go prom in my senior year. Parents did not allow me to go there even all of my friends went there. But I had similar party before prom but not any girls can have. It was a military ball. Someone can be curious about military ball because how can I went there. In my high school, Francis Lewis, has a JROTC program. I had this class everyday instead of gym class and government or economic class. And every year, the member, which we call as cadet of JROTC can buy a ticket of the military ball. It is for only my high school students and planned by the instructors of JROTC. I had not went there before senior year. In senior year, I participated several activities to make some reminder of my high school years. I planned to go with my JROTC friends. My friends and I gathered in one of their houses early. i did make up and wore dress. I wanted to be prettier than any other days. When I got to the Queens college where military ball was, my friends and I took a lot of pictures. After all the boring ceremony, we had dance party for about one hour. Even though I could not go to prom, the experience like military ball makes my memory of high school brighter.
