Senior year would be our final time to make a lasting impact on our school, and we thought the best way was to go big, and win the coveted crown of homecoming king.

I believe that the Middle Georgia State University Homecoming Queen and King represents the entire student body through their leadership, courage, strength, and spirit. While there are no grades and zero credits to earn from being a student leader, the experience gained from the role as well as the individuals touched will be valuable for a lifetime.

The morning of Homecoming had finally come. I woke up at 7:30 to the ringing of my alarm clock with a feeling of excitement. I quickly got out of bed and took a shower.

They struggle to fit in with society after prolonged service. Paul experiences these emotions and struggles on the streets and in his household during his seventeen day leave.
