Prom is an opportunity to feel like a real princess. Many girls prepare for it as if it were their wedding, choosing a special dress, makeup, and hairstyle long before the event. We think it’d be fun to see how graduates of different eras from around the world looked during their prom.

Isabella Strahan’s Inspiring Journey: A Battle with Cancer

The 19-year-old daughter of former NFL player Michael Strahan, Isabella, recently gave an update on her valiant fight against cancer. Isabella broke down in tears as she announced on social media that she would only need four chemotherapy sessions as opposed to the six that were initially scheduled. She was overcome with delight at hearing this unexpected news, which was a big step in the right direction for her recuperation.
Isabella was given a medulloblastoma diagnosis last year. This kind of cancer is found near the base of the brain. In January 2024, she courageously revealed her experience during an interview on Good Morning America, which made her diagnosis public. Isabella is resilient and unflappable in spite of her struggles.
“I feel fantastic. Not too awful,” Isabella said in the January interview, demonstrating her fortitude in the face of difficulty.

October 2023 marked the start of Isabella’s journey as she enrolled in her first year of college at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. She sought medical attention when she began to experience recurrent headaches. As the symptoms worsened, nausea and trouble walking straightened out. When Isabella woke up one day in late October and started vomiting blood, her condition took a sharp turn for the worse. At first, her problems were thought to be caused by vertigo. She contacted her sister, who then alerted their entire family, as soon as she realized something was really wrong.
Isabella has fought cancer with incredible strength since learning of her illness. She gave a positive update in a recent YouTube video, revealing that she will only require four chemotherapy cycles as opposed to the original six. Knowing that Isabella is halfway through her therapy, the burden on her shoulders began to ease, and she shed these happy tears.
I’ll finish up in May. Isabella grinned and said, “And I can kind of try and have a summer to feel better.” And I’m overjoyed since I had assumed I would be finished by the end of July. My goal was to complete six rounds in all. After that, I would actually have to return to school immediately. I’m overjoyed.
