So I have basically missed the past 3 classes in a row. While many students like to miss school, have a free day to do what they like, I hate missing school. I don't feel like that little extra bit of time out of school is worth all of the hours of makeup work, getting behind in class, and not being caught up on tests. One class, fine, that happens. But three classes, it begins to get a little overwhelming.
It seems like every year I have countless tardies and absences, I am always needing to leave miss school for one reason or another and I'm pretty sick of it. I have a very busy life, I live on my own, pay all my bills, work 30+ hours a week, and steadily maintain Crossfit. There is nearly no time for homework, none the less with the added responsibility of make up work. With my busy schedule it is easy to see why I am out of school so much. Sometimes I just have to do what I have to do in order to support myself and come up with the money I need to pay my bills, along with the responsibility of caring got my younger sister. So I need to miss school for her needs many times as well.
Every year My absences have causing me to fall behind in at least one class. I see this happening in this class and I am trying my very hardest to keep that from happening this year, and to keep this year from being like all of my others.
I hear ya. I tend to miss a fair amount of school for swim meets, college visits, etc. And yes, make-up work is not a fun thing to spend your time on.
