A plea for prom from a couple of our residents at FCS.
I live at Florence Crittenton Services. I attend Myers Park High School along with another young lady. I’m a senior and she is a junior and we have hopes to be able to attend our junior and senior prom this year. We have worked very hard to get where we are. I returned back to Myer Park in the middle of the first semester as a junior. I didn’t think my grades were going to be so great because I was coming back to school right before it was time to take midterms. I honestly didn’t think I was going to do well, but I fooled myself. When I got my report card I had two As, a B and a C. I was a junior at that time during first semester, and now that we are in second semester, I have been placed as a senior. The other young lady that lives her is a junior and also a new mother of a beautiful little girl. After having her baby girl she got back on track with schooling. While she was on her leave from school she got all her work she needed to complete for her teachers so she could get credit for her work. Now that she is back she is taking credit recovery for her missed days; her grades are good and she also manages her time very well with having her daughter and school work. The reason for this letter is that we both have dreams to attend our junior and senior prom at Myers Park High School on April 20, 2013. We can’t afford to pay for everything, so we are coming and asking for help so we can attend our prom.
These two outstanding residents of FCS, have overcome a great deal in there lives. They work hard, encourage others at FCS, and are positive role models. Their situation has forced them to grow up a great deal faster than other juniors and seniors in high school. And despite the complications and adversity in their lives, they still have the simple desires of your average every day teenager. They want to go to prom. You can help. They need anything and everything from dresses to shoes, hair and nails, dinner, pictures, etc.
