It's Homecoming Season......
|
Posted By: Denese Straughn on October 26, 2012 Homecoming is a gathering, a location, a mood. It is the reconnection of generations through that long held fall festival where all those who wandered to set their mark in the world return to the place they knew not so long ago, Porter University. It is the resurrection of decades’ long team and band rivalries, stopping by to see a favorite professor, showing the kids where “Daddy or Mommy learned how to be…” It is free food, music, fashion shows, vendors and non-stop partying but more importantly, it is a celebration of the love and the legacy of the school that brings all her roaming children, once again, back home. “Fun, bright and fabulous, best friends Tisha, Aston and Denise have what appears to be perfect lives. Each girl is successful in her own right and for all appearances, happy. However, when the girls attend Homecoming at their alma mater, things change. A weekend of partying and fun turns into an experience which helps each girl learn who she is, who she wants to become and how success is truly defined. In one weekend, the friends begin the transition from young ladies to women and are changed in ways they could have never imagined.” - H.
