Skipping School

[Ida_Mann]

I was in JROTC in high skrewl, and growing up in Orlando we were always close to the beach but the most popular place for my crowd was Rock Springs,,,,we'd take off after 1st period and run to the springs for the day,,,,,in my senior year I had JROTC for 1st period, so I'd go to that and come back for Rifle Team practice at the end of the day,,,,,,1st Sgt would always ask me why I looked like I'd been outside all day ;-)

but it did add up, I ended up with about 40 unexcused abcenses at the end of the year and ended up not graduating with my class and taking summer school to make it up.

it can get out of hand quickly,,,,,just avoid skipping if you can.

do'nt do school like I did and end up being the oldest in the class in college and only a couple years younger than the teacher with a 7-year old and bills.

it sucks.

I hardly skip, I do it maybe twice every 9-weeks or so.  (4) 9-weeks in a year so thats 8 absences.  And they are excused to boot.  There my personal days

yeah my lil brother swears he doesnt skip like he used to but that thing calls the house everyday

hahaha

I know plenty of people that got held back or had to go to summer school b/c they missed too many days

our school has that automated thingy too, but come to think of it it didn't call last friday when I was sick...

It always felt funny coming back to school at 2:30 to sit in detention, but if I would have come home with an 'N' I wouldn't have been able to sit..
