["677.06"]*Hi, I'm Kiley Roache from The Mash, Chicago Tribune's boyhood edition. I appear Nazareth Academy in La Grange Park. My brawl night will be different because I'm cutting a dress that's been anesthetized bottomward through my ancestors for years. This is the adventure abaft my gown.*
It's cliché to say that every little babe wants to abound up to be a princess. But for me, that absolutely was the case. My adolescence allowance was wallpapered with the faces of Belle, Cinderella and Aurora. I spent an absolute year of my activity cutting alone dresses. Dress-up was by far my admired game, and luckily, I had four earlier cousins who gave me affluence of dress-up clothes over the years.
["320.1"]It's been a while back I've larboard a ancestors affair with armfuls of sparkly dresses and artificial tiaras. But back I saw my accessory Jacqueline arch off to brawl in a dress that looked like an alike added beautiful, avant-garde adaptation of Cinderella's, I knew absolutely how I capital to attending at my own prom. That dress has been beat by all four of my earlier cousins-and now that it's my chief year, I'll accept the adventitious to abrasion it.
Unfortunately, best of the girls at my academy don't abrasion dresses like this. They opt for sleek, form-fitting styles. A few of my accompany accept fabricated off-handed comments about how "different" or "weird" my dress will be, which absolutely had me worrying: If this is what my best accompany are saying, what will the added kids at academy think? Will bodies anticipate I'm awe-inspiring back my dress is alert as big as anyone else's on Instagram and Facebook?

But really, it's aloof a dance. Who cares what bodies anticipate of my dress? A lot of aerial academy doesn't about-face out to be what you dreamed it would be (thanks, "High Academy Musical"). But actuality I am-I accept the befalling to accept the brawl I'd consistently dreamed of, and I'm afraid about what bodies will anticipate back they see my dress on Instagram.
I started this commodity by cogent you about how I looked up to princesses back I was little. That's true, but I called my American Babe baby afterwards my oldest cousin, Caitlin. I played basketball for four years in brand school, acquisitive to be like my cousins Lauren and Kristen who are actual accomplished and athletic. I had a three-year band of authoritative aught baskets. My seventh brand cocky was crazily anxious back my accessory Jacqueline got to accommodated Robert Pattinson at the acme of the Twilight craze.

Who cares about the trends at my school? I'm activity to go to brawl attractive like a princess, and added importantly, attractive like my cousins. At the accident of aural too "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"-esque there accept been some absolutely air-conditioned bodies who accept beat this dress afore me. Now, I get to be one of them, and I couldn't be added excited.
