Grade 11 and 12 students choose to show up to prom in T-shirts instead of ball gowns and suits to raise money for their grieving music teacher who lost everything in an unfortunate incident.
At a local high school in San Francisco, Mr. Adams was well-loved by his pupils. He taught music, something he was passionate about ever since he was a child.
Like any other music enthusiast, Mr. Adams aimed to become a famous musician. He wanted to hit it big, go on tour, and release albums. However, as time passed, he realized his dream was something he wouldn’t be able to reach.

Despite this realization, he didn’t want to give up on music, so he applied to become a high school music teacher and got the job.
Not all students were fond of playing musical instruments and singing, but because of Mr. Adams’ fun and easy lessons, he instantly became every pupil’s favorite teacher. He would teach them how to play instruments using top hits and have jamming sessions with them where they performed the students’ favorite songs.
“You know, the key to making the kids love your lessons is to make it relatable to them,” he told his fellow teachers one day. “Once you catch their attention, it’ll be easier for them to absorb what you’re trying to teach them.”

Mr. Adams taught Grade 11 and 12 high school students. Thanks to his fun nature, his students respected him as a teacher but treated him like a friend. They went to him for advice and would hang out with him outside of class to play music and exchange stories.
One day, his students scheduled a day to spend time with him to make their upcoming prom’s playlist. He was glad to help them and scheduled their session for Friday that week.
However, that Friday, Mr. Adams didn’t show up to class for the first time. “I wonder if he’s okay,” one student said, worried. “He’s never been absent before!”
