Hi Lindsay! How are you? Kelley and I read your Iraq showdown and it was good. You are really coming along as a writer. Since I bet youâre dying to know who I am in the class picture, Iâm the one in the red shirt with the brown hair in the ponytail. Iâm the girl on the right side behind the girl in the sweatshirt and behind the girl with the blond hair in the blue shirt. Here is my lead from my recent story, I just want to know your thoughts on it.
Beads of sweat had begun to form on Abby Formanâs forehead while the five shopping bags dug into her hands and weighed her down. Her hair was in disarray as she squeezed through the crowds of people all wanting to get into Bloomingdaleâs for the big sale. Quickly passing the hair salon, Abby frantically thought, oh my gosh, I forgot to make a hair appointment. In an instant she had her cell phone out and was calling her favorite hair dresser and praying to God that there was an still an opening on such short notice.
For Abby Forman, a Hunterdon Central senior, and for many of her classmates, the senior ball can be not only a stressful time but also fun.
"There is so much that you have to buy; such as a dress, limo, tickets, make hair and nail appointments, finding a date and the list goes on forever," stated Forman.
Even though the night of prom is lurking around the corner, Central seniors are still excited and are eagerly anticipating the event.
Many seniors are all hyped up about the big night scheduled to take place on May 30th at the Marriott in Whippany. Dances like these bring everyone together to have a good time according to Hunterdon Central senior and class council member, Meghan Flood.
Usually a features lead tells the reader story about someone doing something and is supposed to make the reader wonder what the story will be about. Can you guess what mine is about? However this lead is for a feature story when leads donât necessarily have to have a who, what, when, where, and why, opposed to news leads which do. Keep up the good work!
