Erika Walters—Mustangs Ahead
(LAKEWOOD RANCH, FL) - As a Lakewood Ranch High School (LRHS) senior, I am ready to attend my final high school prom. By now I know exactly what it takes for a successful prom night, and this year I’m making sure I do it right.
I’m already looking forward to this year’s prom because I love the theme, and it is in a new, more spacious location.
First, I ordered my dress online and ahead of time, which I didn’t do last time and I regretted it. Last time, I ended up going to the mall to get a dress that I didn’t really like. It is important to plan ahead and not wait until the last minute.

Next, I am going to dedicate more time to getting ready so that way I have enough time to take pictures and eat dinner before prom. Last time, I was on a time crunch, and my group did not even eat dinner.
This time we made a reservation at Brio and planned out the times that we’re getting ready, taking pictures, eating dinner, and then going to prom so that it is all organized.
I want to make sure that my final prom is the best one, and I am sure that with this plan I will have a much better time this year. It is very important to plan for events like these ahead of time.
