One of the most special days in a high schooler’s life or a college student’s life is the day of Homecoming. The welcoming back of the former students and the existing ones to celebrate the organization’s existence is a lifetime of an opportunity that everyone is excited about. The school- the sole institution where one experiences almost all emotions, right from being happy and joyous to sadness, hatred, competitive spirit and finally when you come back to that institution as an alumnus, it’s no longer a building but the place where you have your heart and soul. The moment is nostalgic.

This story is from Keller, Texas where at the Homecoming, the student who was crowned as the Homecoming King gave over his crown to someone else for a totally unbelievable reason. It came as a shock to all the students present in the event. The crown is prestige and giving it to someone else was something no one would ever want to do. Why did he do so?

Homecoming

Homecoming is the event that all the students look up to in their lives. This is celebrated on a grand scale and often organized around a dance setting and most often around the game of American Football. One such ceremony took place in September 2016, in Texas. However, it did not end as it was supposed to.

The King And The Queen

In the football field, the students march and perform a band in honor of their school. Yet, the most exciting part of this entire celebration is when in the half-time in the football game, a presentation takes place where the Homecoming King and Queen are crowned. Max Akin was the one announced as the King at Fossil Ridge High School in Fort Worth, Texas.

Max Akin

Max Akin was the heart-throb at his school. He was one of the most popular faces in the school and there was not even a single student who didn’t know this man. He was the football team’s quarterback, known for his exceptional game on the field. But this wasn’t all. He was a man of good character and a big heart. But, that day at homecoming everything changed.

Expected And Unexpected

After so many qualities being associated with Max’s name, it was expected that the students would be nominating him for the award of “Homecoming King”. And exactly the same happened. Yet, at the same moment, the unexpected also happened. He gave away his crown. But why? Everyone wanted to know the reason behind this shocking move of his.

One Last Time

Max was excited about his homecoming. He was eager for it. He even prepared a speech for this day. Not only the ceremony but also the school football match was something he was looking forward to enjoying, probably for the last time that night.

Just Questions

That night in the Ridge School’s field everything was going just perfect. The homecoming was a lavish affair with the crowning of the king and queen. When everyone was waiting to hear the most awaited acceptance speech from Akin, his words just left the audience perplexed.
