History is made every day. The challenge is getting everyone to pay attention to it.

I wouldn't call myself a geek, but I do sometimes teach Mommy and Daddy stuff about computers. And I do watch TV, but only informative programmes like the news and documentaries.

Prom has all the elements of a popular story. It reeks of all-Americanness, tension, drama. It has romance. Pretty dresses. Dancing. Limos. High school. Coming of age.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of family encouragement - not just for me, but for everyone.

I realise I'm still a child, though I do feel older.
