My twelfth year of high school was by far my best year. I went the whole year while being absent only one day. That was excellent for me because if anyone checked the previous years they would find I had more than my share of absences. I wish I could say that those days out were justified, but honestly, the majority of them was laziness and lack of motivation. My grades were very good, but I needed something to make me want to go to school.
