Personal Writing : Homecoming Traditions In High School

Homecoming is one of the most important and celebrated week at college. Homecoming is an American tradition named from “coming home” (Huynh, T 2015, October 21). One of the first colleges to have a homecoming was Harvard. It was during a football game against Yale that they invited back their Alumnis in the 1870s (Cramton, I. n.d.). The Harvard vs. Yale homecoming was to get together and have a good time there at the game while everyone catch up and celebrate their school pride. For most colleges, homecoming week provides a week long of activities for students on campus. Student Events Team or other students involvement club will hold parties, parades, rallies, football games, and concerts that week. Every school is different and will do something

Being on Homecoming Court was a great experience and I can sincerely say that I enjoyed it. It was nice getting to know the other seniors on court, and it was fun to spend hours of practicing the Homecoming Court dance with them. I learned that there was actually a lot of work that comes with being on court, like learning how to dance in just a few days and participating in all of the assembly rehearsals. I also got to see for myself all of the hard work that ASB and Senate do for the school, and it was really impressive. At the Homecoming Game, the court was a little nervous as we waited for half time to hear the announcement, but the amount of support between us was extraordinary.

I belong to a school that has 1,301 students enrolled. I was nominated and voted on by the entire student body to be on the Homecoming court. September 4th, 2015, I represented the senior class during the annual Homecoming game. When asked about homecoming I simply say, “Homecoming was my favorite high school memory and I’m grateful to everyone who let me be apart”.

Homecoming is filled with tradition, however, this year several new activities were added to make the week more exciting than ever. To make the week a success required meticulous planning and the experience of several veterans. The theme, “Nightmare on Elm Street”, provided for the most anticipated addition, a haunted house after the football game.

“We basically do most of everything during Homecoming week, It's a really fun group there's energy in the room when they get pretty pumped up we sometimes,” Aaron Rudebusch, student council adviser, said.

They have students running for homecoming king and queen, which is competitive to see who will take over the crown. A lot of people run, but some lose. It is still fun to run because at least they tried. If they take homecoming away it would be boring to students because there’s not going to be a football game to attend. The football game is mostly where the fun is. Homecoming could never get old so it’s going to be impossible to take that away from ICN high school. Our school is one of the best in the city and everyone love to our football games. Homecoming is where all the fun is at in our school.

The homecoming dance is usually open to students in any grade. While some schools make this gathering casual, others provide the option to dress formally. The dance that took place at South Walton was themed “A Night in New Orleans”, which entailed Mardi Gras. Specifically, purple, green and gold colors covered the room and every student had a miraculous night to remember. Students will typically spend their nights overwhelmed with enjoyment, dancing to their favorite hits and engaging with their

Despite the challenges of constructing the floats and collaborating with other groups, I believe pomping, and homecoming as a whole, is an important part of both Greek life and student life at Florida State University. Along with working hard it also brings great bonding time and friendships that will last a life

Homecoming Queen is the third installment of the Carter House girl series and a major developing point in the series. As a result, the book contained many key moments or events that all led up to the end of this story and set up the next one, therefore causing me to write an extra-long summary. The story follows main character DJ and the rest of the Carter House girls. Previously, in Stealing Bradford, Taylor disappeared at the end of the story. Taylor’s disappearing act followed a Myspace incident involving scandalous pictures of her, leaked by an unknown person. Homecoming Queen begins with Taylor returning home after the police and townspeople, including the girls have worried about and searched for her for weeks.

It was September 17th, 2016. There I am sitting in the student section, next to some of the most school-spirited people I have ever seen in my entire life. Everywhere I looked, Syracuse fans were dressed in orange representing their school. I watched as students, and families, like I had mentioned were all gathered in this enclosed dome to celebrate the Homecoming Football Game on that surprisingly hot day in Syracuse, New York.

It was 7:00 in the morning when we arrived at the Johnston City High School. Once everyone arrived at the high school, we got on the bus and headed off to Benton. As we stepped foot on the bus, we all sat there quietly, nervous about the results of this game. This was the game that determined whether or not we went on to state. Coach Simon and Coach Shane gave us one of their what we like to call "before the game warm-up talks". We were all nervous of course, but we were all determined to win this game. We had been looking forwards to winning regionals and going to state the whole season and that day was the day that we gave us the opportunity to go to state. After the thirty minute bus ride, we finally got to Benton and once we got there,

The homecoming parade started just after 1:30p.m. Friday in Leeds, Alabama. Suckers, Tootsie Rolls, and even Zaxby’s coupons covered the streets in Downtown Leeds, AL. From the Leeds Fire Department to Little League cheerleaders and football and SGA Representatives, the parade brought together groups, students, faculty, and community members from the City of Leeds. The Homecoming Football Game is Tonight, September 18th at 7PM against the Elmore County

     Through out life people go through so many hardships. Whether it be good or bad there is always something that comes out of the situation. One of the most exciting but yet scariest events would be graduation. For a lot of people, graduating from high school is a goal. It takes a lot of time and effort to achieve that goal. In the long run, it opens a lot of opportunities for people to succeed. Graduation is the end of high school, and the beginning to life.

Many people have experienced the over whelming excitement that you feel as you approach high school graduation day, and for me, that’s a day that I will never forget. The amount of emotions that you feel on graduation day is unbelievable, and I have yet to experience anything else like it. I can remember feeling anxious to celebrate the big day with my friends and family, while at the same time I was panicking thinking about having to walk across the stage in front of that many people. Then, the more I thought about the reality of graduation day, I started to get curious, but nervous, about being able to start a new chapter in my life once graduation day had passed. There are several reasons why I, still
