Prom is an important time in every teenager’s life. It’s not only a time to have a blast at a party with all your friends, but it’s also in that moment that you get to celebrate your graduation and the beginning of a new chapter in your life — college, university, new jobs, etc. For these very reasons, teens prep all year round to make sure that their prom is one to remember.
Girls will buy beautiful dresses and hope that they’ll be asked out by their high school crush! The pressure, of course, is always on the guys, but one young lady took it upon herself to make the first move. The only difference was that the boy she wanted to take to prom didn’t go to her school. Actually, he didn’t go to school at all. He was a superstar athlete and film star — Dwayne Johnson, also known as, The Rock,
Katie Kelzenberg is a senior student at Stillwater High School and Dwayne’s biggest fan. She’s got all his movies, posters, and even memorized lines from his films. Safe to say that Katie loves Dwayne, and we don’t blame her.
So, while prep for prom was fully underway at Stillwater, Katie sent out a letter to Dwayne, her crush, asking him to join her for the dance. She didn’t hear from him and figured that he was busy and why would he REALLY message her back? He’s a celebrity, he doesn’t have time for this, right? — Wrong!
One morning, when the students were settling into their class, waiting for the morning announcements, something was different. It wasn’t a student or teacher from the school who was on the PA system; it was Dwayne himself.
He began by addressing the entire school, and then he turned his attention to Katie and her proposal. The teen was in tears to hear his voice on her school’s PA and kept telling everyone around her to “Shh!”
We’re glad this moment was recorded on camera, so click on the link below to hear the full announcement and see what Dwayne had to say, he’s a true gentleman!
