The Joy Of Homecoming (Gladys)

I have heard people talk about how Howard's Homecoming is so amazing, but i never really understood the hype about it. I always thought that every homecoming was the same and now, let's just say my view has changed.
I have never seen a homecoming like Howard's. There were so many people there that didn't even attend the school. From Howard alumni to people who traveled from far just to attend this legendary celebration, everyone seemed to get along. I especially enjoyed the concert. I liked that they had a wide range of performers and also that even some Howard students preformed.  
Though i do not listen to rap music much, i did really appreciate the fact that rappers such as Jezzy and Wale tok time to come celebrate with us. It really shows how Howard is known and appreciated by everyone to the point that they would go out of there way just to preform for us students.
Another highlight was the Homecoming game. I have never ever been to any type of football game, so this was a true experience for me. On top of us winning the game in overtime, i also got to see Calvin from "Tyler Perry's House of Payne." He was just walking around hugging people and just having fun like the rest of us. Showtime's performance was also very memorable. I liked how they didn't back down from the other team's band just because they were a larger band. They truly have a lot of heart and enjoy what they do. 
All in all, i loved homecoming week. It is by so far the most amazing college experience i have had so far. I definitely can't wait for other special events at Howard.
