Prom. It's just a tiny little word that has come to mean so much. Just looking at it without knowing what it is you might brush it off as you do so many other everyday words. However, in my junior year I have come to learn that to some people prom means everything.

Remember all of those old High School movies? The ones that supposedly depict the average American High School where the cheerleaders, jokes, nerds, and dorks all fit into their own cliques. The school where there are no empty seats at home games for any sport and everyone in the crowd is dressed in school colors, shouting and cheering at the “big game.”
