HC: Why did you run for Homecoming royalty?
BH: I ran for Homecoming Queen because I thought it would be a fun and good opportunity to get more involved on campus. Also knowing that I will be proudly supporting the organization I am a part of, NRHH/RHA, on campus.
HC: What would winning mean to you?
BH: It is not all about winning, but about having fun. It is quite an honor to be on the homecoming court, but if I did win it would tell me and others that I did a good job representing NRHH/RHA, the campus and a positive, well-rounded person. So far this week I have had a lot of fun interacting with students on campus through the homecoming events and being an active participant in homecoming overall.
HC: How have you been campaigning to become royalty?
