Today is homecoming for White Oak ISD we only have homecoming every three years. The reason we have it every three years is because after World War 2 people from White Oak were in the war and being sent home, so they waited three years till the people were home. I wonder what it was like to wait for the people to come it would have to be hard to wait on the people that you remember them when they were in grade school and now your waiting to see them come home for homecoming. I’m proud to be at a school that honors the people in World War 2 still around 50 years later. At first I thought that What Oak did that for no reason but now that I know the story behind it makes more sense. I like that they cared for the exes that they waited for all of them to come home so they could see them again and maybe say “Thank you for your service.” They still to this day almost 60 years later wait every three years to respect the exes. I like White Oak because they don’t forget about us they wait as long as it takes. I like,honor,and respect homecoming and White Oak.
