I sit on this Saturday Evening enjoying some of my favorite things; football and chatting with friends/family. This weekend is Homecoming at my alma mater Jackson State University as well as Tennessee State University and I have heard that quite a few people have returned to the respective areas to celebrate. Although I did not make it for the experience this weekend, technology kept me up to speed with everything that was going on.
As we get older and start new chapters in our lives, we often leave home. Leaving home could be just growing up and leaving your parents house or moving away from the city you call home. Whatever the case may be it is a special feeling inside of us when we return home.
Do you remember that tree where you first carved your initials and the initials of your first love? How sweet does it feel to wake up in your childhood room and smell your mother cooking homemade biscuits on a Saturday morning?
Wherever home is, it will always be a place that you can go and get a feeling that can’t be re-created in too many places. Often times we return home for occasions that aren’t so joyous, so try to make it for a good occasion and enjoy yourself.

“Homecoming means more than winning a competition or a sporting event. It provides an opportunity for every component of the university to come together to celebrate as a whole.”
