Homecoming Winners-Student
Andy Chi:
Q: Congratulations! How does it feel to win the title, Homecoming King?
A: I feel loved, and I feel that my self esteem has gone up with receiving this title.
This really encourages me to go and meet everyone on campus.
Q: Do you think the choosing of the Homecoming winners is based on a popularity contest?
A: Yes. From the start, instead of choosing qualified candidates for Homecoming Kings or Queens, people only choose the names that they know.
Q: What was your first reaction when you heard your name as the winner?
A: I was completely surprised. I had felt really shy, and didn’t know what to do in that moment. I had prepared myself not to hear my name, not wanting to feel crushed if my name wasn’t chosen. I had felt really shy though, ducking down, trying to be humble—I knew I had made it on the court but I didn’t want to feel like a braggart.
Q: What does the title, Homecoming King, mean to you?
A; From winning this, I decided that I should reach out and get to know more people, and not just my friends. I want to meet my voters who had all supported me.
Q: If you could bring any celebrity or superhero with you to Homecoming Dance, who would you take?
A: I would definitely take Mike Conol of The Lost Kids dance company. He has the perfect body and perfectly developed muscles.

Q: What does the title, Homecoming Queen, mean to you?
