Homecoming

         Homecoming is a good tradition to keep.  I don't think it should be as big of a deal as people make it out to be. I understand how prom is a big deal; homecoming? Not so much.  Nominating a homecoming queen is just a popularity contest, which is how many things are in high school.  However, it's still a fun thing to have and participate in.
         I didn't go to homecoming my senior year.  Not because I don't like homecoming, but because I am at a new school where I don't really know anyone.  I wish I could've gone; I'm not too torn up about it though.  If I had been at my old school, I would've been glad to go.  At a new school, it's hard to have school spirit and go to dances when you don't know many people and everyone already has their own cliques. Cliques added together with my shyness, not a good combination.  I just hope things change before prom.
