Personal Narrative About Homecoming

Homecoming “Life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.” – Charles Swindoll. My high school years were the best. My freshman year I did very well in school. I made good grades and I played sports. My favorite sport was always volleyball. I’ve always dreamed of playing volleyball since I was in elementary school. We did well that season but did not make the play – offs. We were sad, but our coach told us to cheer up and that there always was next year. That same year I met a good friend named Mia. Shortly after we became best friends. We did everything together. We even went on vacations and other events together. We had spent the whole summer together and the next school year was coming fast. I really wasn’t prepared …show more content…
They had different events for each day of the week. The first day of the week was themed crazy sock day. Mia and I really didn’t come around to it at first but since it was for the school we did it. Mia wore SpongeBob socks and I wore Patrick socks. Everyone had crazy socks on. The next day was twin day. With that idea in mind, Mia and I dressed up as twins since we looked almost alike. My mom dropped us off at the Mall of Louisiana that night so we could shop. As we looked, we seen a variety of things to wear. We found a store that made shirts.

Everyone was amazed of how we looked. We took a few pictures with a few people then went to class. The next day of the week was nerd day. In addition there was a contest for the best dressed nerd. Mia said she wasn’t doing it. I agreed with her decision. I was already upset that the homecoming dance was coming up and I didn’t have a date. But my mom told me not to let that bring my spirit down and that I should dress up. All I wore that day was suspenders and my school uniform. People bugged me all day asking what’s wrong.

The number texted me again saying, “I’ll pick you up later on so be ready”. I got dressed and waited patiently for about a hour. I heard a knock at the door, and it was this guy that I liked but was nervous about talking to him. I was nervous but also in sort of a shock. He told me to come and said that he was going to show me a good time. Now, I was very excited. We went to the dance, and we danced almost all the night. After the dance we went to the football game. We made it to the game around halftime. Our team was winning by twelve. The game was very intense but we won by three. At the end of the day I had a great time. Finally, my week was complete. I would say it was the best week I’ve ever had. I really appreciate my friends for helping me make it through the week. I enjoyed the time I spent in high school. But, I decided to come to Job Corps to further my education. I made this change for the
