This year I decided to sign up to run for homecoming queen. So most would think this would be easy as lemon pie, however, it was anything but easy. The friday before our homecoming game we found out who was going to need an escort for the game. I was smart, I went ahead and asked a guy and he agreed. Then we are going through the next week, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are all good. Actually, on Wednesday I went to Cincinatti,OH for a meeting with CES leaders and got more info about BYU-I. We didn't get back until 12 that night so I didn't go to school on Thursday. And since our school allows 2 college days for all seniors and I'm not going out to Idaho I was ok using mine on that fireside. Anyways, my mom subbed at the high school on Thursday and since I was not there she was asked to fill out the information sheet that would be read aloud to the stadium and we she comes to pick me up she tells me the guy who was suppose to escort me was no longer going to but he was going to find somebody. Might I add that the game was in less than 24 hours. I get to school the next day, figure out who this other guy is and I'm ok with it. All is well, I'm happy. I knew it would be an experience of a lifetime. So it wasn't that big of a deal...until in 5th period I found out that I didn't have an escort. At our school we have a 10 minute break in between 5th and 6th periods, during this break I went and talked to the teacher in charge of homecoming festivities and she told me that they found somebody to fill in. It turns out that it was my friends boyfriend. I was grateful she lent her boyfriend to me for the 15 minutes during half time. He saved the day because I was ready to just tell the teacher to forget it, I was dropping out. It was a lot of fun, my feet were killing me and I loved every minute of it. And as you read in the title of this post, I didn't win. But I loved it. My neighbrs, Ricky and Karen sent me flowers and their love. I loved that night. It was so much fun! I would do it again in heartbeat, even if I knew I wasn't going to win. I won more than a sash, flowers, or a crown. I won some confidence in myself.
