Personal Narrative: Homecoming Queen

Homecoming Queen In highschool popularity is what most strive to accomplish, because it makes high schoolers feel welcomed and loved by the surrounding pizza. Although you always hear olders say what happens in high school won’t matter 10 years down the road, that just goes right in one ear and out the other. Because our parents/grandparents “don't understand”. I have been guilty of this myself. Popularity doesn’t actually matter in the end, and no one will remember who won Homecoming Queen, or Prom Queen.
