Kindergarten at the age of five or six. There are graduations from judo and karate classes, English classes,
art classes, and modeling classes.

From high school this June, and she's going to celebrate at her prom. Jessica is going to wear a beautiful
evening dress, jewelry, and new shoes with high heels. Rick, her date, is going to wear a tuxedo. He's going
