2nd period study hall in the library: three seniors along with students from other grades

I normally spend my second period study hall in the library with a group of eight other seniors, but today, our group was down to just Carson Thieret and me.

Thieret has perfect attendance in school. Not just perfect attendance in high school — perfect attendance since kindergarten.

So for Thieret, today was not a day worth missing. In fact, he didn’t even ask his parents if he could stay home.

“I have not made it this far from kindergarten to miss school now,” Thieret said.
