Why I Want to be Homecoming Queen

by Rose M. Richard | September 27, 2001 I desire to become Homecoming Queen for two reasons. First of all, America is not a monarchy, consequently, I have little chance of marrying royalty and therefore, becoming Princess Anything.In high school, I was way too bitchy and unpopular to even think about being nominated for any sort of event that required crowns. I got the last laugh, though, because now I have bigger boobs than all those bitches. My mom wanted me to do Junior Miss, but I was in my militant feminist vegetarian phase and refused. I regret my decision not to participate, even though I still don't think it's truly a "scholarship" event. What scholarship requires you to prance around in a swimsuit?The second reason I want to be Homecoming Queen is for the crown. I like crowns. I'm of the generation of girls whose first television memory is Princess Di's wedding. She got to wear a great crown, and I've been obsessed with them ever since. I suppose I could go buy one of those crappy ones at the mall, but you don't earn those crowns. I don't care if the crown is from Burger King. At least I will have done something to earn it (but not by prancing around in a swimsuit. You really don't want me to do that).VOTE Rose M. Richard For QUEEN!

    When thinking about why I want to be the next County Fair Queen, many memories of the fair came back to me. I have wonderful memories of meeting up with friends at the fair, attending the carnival, going to the dance and making new friends.

    High School Valedictorian

    • 1360 Words
    • 6 Pages

    In the essay, “The Joy of Graduating” by Kate Stone Lombardi, describes the traditional high school valedictorian competition with the most prestigious students. The fight for the position of valedictorian has intensified over the years. Danielle Gorman, an elected valedictorian at Moorestown High School in New Jersey, was quoted by Lombardi of the qualifications and standards it took to become valedictorian. The traits Gorman describes common to valedictorians were taking on too much and are unwilling to fail. I think that Gorman’s assessment is reasonable because many people who strive to become valedictorian take on “more than they can chew” by taking multiple advanced placement classes to extracurricular activities in…

    Is it a way of earning money or throwing it away? Is it a way to build a person up or to tear them down? Is it a way to be a role model or a way to be ridiculed? These questions can most commonly be heard when discussing beauty pageants. There is an ongoing controversy about the benefits or harm that beauty pageants can cause to their contestants. There are two-sides to every controversy, but in the matter of pageants the benefits of entering one easily outweighs the negatives.…

    I would like to begin this essay by saying I am deeply honored to be a student who is even considered for a spot in the National Honors Society. High School has been an uphill battle for me, and I have had to push my limits to get to places I never though I would ever get to. But now, my hard work and determination will have a very grand outcome if I am able to be a part of such a wonderful association. I believe that this organization has done so many wonderful things for the future of our student body, and I am hoping to carry on the legacy of being a part of the National Honors Society. I personally believe that I possess all of the characteristics of an NHS students, including leadership, character, and service. My main goal in life is to have a good future with a successful career in whatever I decide to go into, and being a part of National Honors Society will help make my dream of making something amazing out of myself, into a stern reality.…

    I’m sure you all have seen the TV show “Toddlers in Tiaras.” It is a show about young children competing in beauty pageants to win a place in a higher ranked pageant, money, and the ownership of a winning title. Many people think differently about the show and the pageants. Some are all for the pageants and some are against them.…

    Why do I want to become a Lambda? I’ve asked this question to myself at least ten times. And every time I come up with a new answer. But there is something common among all those answers. It is the Brotherhood. For example, I attended the IG retreat in Tallahassee. I am aware that I am only a member of the interest group, but the brothers that attended the retreat made me feel different. I felt as if I am in the middle of a family. A family that cares and will always look out for me. They made sure that we had everything we wanted and we got home safe after the get together.…

    Good morning/afternoon teachers and my fellow classmates. Check it off. Yea, that’s right guys, check it off! Check off the box that says, ‘Raina Doshi’, and vote for me to represent you. Graduation is one of the many occasions that bring both a smile and tears to a student. Being the Valedictorian in a graduation ceremony is utmost honour. And I would like to hold that honour. But why, I hope you’re all wondering should we check it off? Why choose her and not any of the other thirteen people up here. It’s because I know, and deep inside your heart you do too, that I can do the best job representing our student body. I’ve been going in front of crowds ever since I was singing the ABC’s. Being in numerous piano recitals and talent shows have given me the experience to stand before an audience. Even in school, I’ve been MC for assemblies. I am known as a smart and well-rounded person. My grades this year have more often than not been in the high 80s and 90s. Moving on from my academic achievements, I am also involved in our school community. I am a part of Helping Hands, and I hang with a grade 1 student during nutrition breaks. He’s a child quite different from others who requires special help and attention. I work with him almost everyday. Furthermore, I have already represented our school well at the Future Leaders Development Workshop back in April. Last Fall, I was the new kid. I didn’t know anyone and had no friends. Yes, you might call me a loner, but no one did that. This school gave me the opportunity to fit in. I made lots of incredible friends and memories that I’ll forever cherish. The point is this place has given me so much, I feel obligated to give back and represent it. Thank you all for listening. I hope you will consider me to emblematize you. And don’t forget to check it…
