something else i’ve greatly enjoyed is working as a peer mediator, someone who helps students to settle problems(9) with other students. at the start of the school year, we were training in how to do this, and it’s clear that this kind of work can really help people. i think i’ll continue to work as a mediator when i go to college.
during the easter vacation, i went on a short school skiing trip to the rocky mountains. i’ve been skiing quite a few times, but never with the school, and since two good friends came on the trip, we (10) each other down the ski slopes. it’s well-known that americans are competitive, and i did enjoy it (11) !
other things i’m pleased about – getting good grades on my final exams, and receiving the senior prize for english literature. i was given a car by my parents so i’ve been able to drive to school, which is brilliant. and of course, i’ll never forget (12) the student council. i really enjoyed meeting the teachers and telling them how we, ss, feel about things, and what we think should happen in the school!
all these things have been wonderful. but i have to say, the highlight of the year was the senior prom. for an american girl, it’s so important that you have a good time at the prom. well, i did! daniel, a boy in my english class, asked me to go to the prom with him, and i was so pleased – i’d been hoping he would ask me. i found a dress that suited me perfectly, and (13) on the day of the prom. it took two hours but it was worth it, as everyone told me i looked very elegant! a group of us rented a nice car to take us to the prom. the food was delicious and i ate so much that i had to stop dancing for a while! we (14) , and laughed and told jokes all evening. it’s a great pity that it’s probably the last time this will happen.
daniel and i danced most of the dances together. but the big surprise of the evening was (15) ! this was so unexpected, and i can’t tell you how good this made me feel! after the prom, a group of us drove down to the coast, and sat on the beach in our long dresses and dinner jackets. i shall never forget watching the sunrise over the sea – it was unforgettable! afterwards, we went and had an enormous breakfast in a nearby hotel – it was a perfect ending to a perfect school year.
