High school senior Precious Perez has accomplished an impressive amount for a teenager.

The 18-year-old has written more than 100 songs. She will study vocal performance at Boston's Berklee College of Music starting this fall.

Oh, and she was born blind.

Precious just hit a major milestone: she attended her the prom at her public school in Chelsea, Mass.

"I always thought that I might end up going. I didn't really know though," she told Reuters reporter Brian Snyder.

Snyder followed Precious and her mom as they prepped for the big night.
