make it happen.

So, Prom was tons tons tons of fun. My great friend Leah and I had a blast. All of the dance kiddos got together at Jessi's house for pictures and one of our dance teachers (Sammi) did the girls' hair. We (the guys) didn't have to get there until 5.. but the girls had been there all day. So we're all waiting around for the girls to come out... and still nothing. It was already past 5 and the girls were still getting ready. What they don't realize is that we would have thought they looked incredible regardless. Hmph, females and getting ready- I don't think I'll ever get used to it. All four of them looked so beautiful. When Leah came out from the back room of hairspray and bobby-pins I couldn't help but be over-whelmingly proud of her. When I saw her, I saw a young woman and not the naive teenage girl I met when I was 14. She has been through so much, especially this year.. and the year before.. and the year before that. She's an inspiration to me to work hard and push through the hardest of situations. Seeing her getting hit with one thing after another and pick herself back up again has shown me that making your dreams come true IS possible, even if you have to do it yourself and not be albe to count on luck or fate. We saw a movie together recently and it has this quote in it, and I feel it fits her perfectly.

"You can't just sit around waiting for things to happen, you have to MAKE it happen."

from that dancer guy to you,

Tony
