Hoco or No-go?

As everybody  knows, October 8 was homecoming day. Even though I am a senior, my last homecoming was also my first. I had huge expectations about it, I had ideas of how it would be from the movies. Of course it was completely different. I still loved that, from the pictures with my friends, to the dinner and last but not least the actual dance. I danced a lot with my date and with my friends even if the music sometimes was terrible.
How did it actually was for our students? I asked the opinions of students for each grade. Let’s see what they think about it.
