Homecoming

From a very early age I have always heard many great things about Howard University's Homecoming. This annual affair is an event that teens, college students, alumni and so many more rave about because of the great experiences occur throughout the week. From the various shows, festivities, parties and the homecoming game itself Howard is the place to be during this time and I am happy that my first homecoming experience happened here.
Out of the various shows that were put on by our students and various performers I attended the R&B Show, Fashion Show I and Yardfest and enjoyed every second of all three. The amount of talent that was showcased at these three different events is mind blowing. The fashion show which occurred on Wednesday included Howard University students showcasing pieces from various artist. I believe that every student did an excellent job and I commented many times that they seemed very professional and like they could make modelling a profession if they truly wanted to do so. I especially like the aspect that the fashion show models were not limited to one body type, we saw females and males of different shade, sizes and shapes and that in itself is beautiful.
On Friday I attended both Yardfest and the R&B show and this was the best day of the week. The atmosphere on the yard was amazing and an experience that one would have to experience to actually get a sense of how everyone felt. I have never seen the yard filled with so many people from D.C and all over the country. There were people both young and old enjoying the food, activities, music and the company of others. I enjoyed listening to the music of some of my favorite artist Wale and Gyptian and singing and dancing and just having a good time with my friends.
This week was definitly a memorable week and a week that will go down as one of the best weeks that I have experience so far at Howard University. I wish that it didn't have to end but I am also happy that it is coming to a close. Its time to get back to the main reason that I am here and that is to receive the best education that I possibly can. Its time to shake up this weeks events and regain my focus, because I am team 4.0!
