Homecoming For An Intern

         So, for this Blog Post I am going to talk about my weekend. It was amazing! I got to be a chaperone at Cocoa High School's Homecoming. It was so much fun being the adult, watching the kids dance and have fun. I won't lie, it was even fun to see the kids do outrageous things, and to tell them no. Let me explain; one of my senior students decided to bring a chair onto the dance floor. Well, one can only imagine what she did with it. I will say that it involved sitting and having others dance around her. Since I am only four to five years older than some of these kids, when I tried to take the chair away, not all of them realized I was a chaperone, let alone an adult. I was getting back-sass comments like, "Who do you think you are? That's not your chair!" My reply was simple, "I'm Mr. Hickey, and it's my chair now."
         My girlfriend even got to go with me, and she too had an eventful night. She happens to look younger than me, but in reality is only a few months younger than I am. Many students mistook her for a high school student when I wasn't around, either by looking, or actually asking her who she was. We had a blast though, fun stories came out of the night along with plenty of learning experience for myself.
