When it comes to being a senior at Sterling High School, there a certain moments you really look forward to other than graduationg. The most important and significant of all activities, homecoming week. Homecoming week is filled with multiple activities including powerpuff, dress days, assembleys, the football game, and the actual homecoming dance.
    As a senior you have certain privelidges during this crazy week; front row at both football games and homecoming aseembleys, messing with freshman, and screaming the senior chant along with our year of graduation. We seniors like to take complete advantage of the fact that we are superior to all other classes and get away with whatever we can.
    Homecoming weeks starts with an assembly introdcuing all the various activities and fund raisers that we will be doing throughout the week. On Wednesday of homecoming week, we play the tradition powderpuff football games, where the sophomores play the juniors, and the seniors beat down the little 'ol freshman. Directly after the poderpuff games is the bonfire where all students gather to dance and listen to music; I think this is just to prepare u for the actual dance. Friday of homecoming week is where everything really kicks off. We have our official homecoming assembley, followed by the parade, and when the wind starts to chill, the football game begins. Bright and early the next morning, all girls wake bright and early to begin their beauty appointments, while boys sleep in and get ready 20 minutes before the homecoming dance starts.
    Ever since freshman year, I have always had a cross country meet on the day of the homecoming dance. And of coarse these long, tiring, hot, sweaty, smelly races are out of town, which leaves all of us cross country girls with only a few hours to pull it all together and look our best. I like to think that this disadvantage we have of time leads to an actual advantage; it makes our night seem even more exciting when we know that after our painful race, we're all going to have the nights of our live.
