Every now and again, I hear a story about "perfect attendance."
The person with the perfect attendance could be a student, a board member, an employee, even family members, etc.
With the last few years in my life being a bit messy and complicated, I'm a bit jealous of anyone who can attain perfect attendance anywhere in his or her life. I've never accomplished it, not in anything.
But I also wonder about those who DO attain it: Do these people have less challenging lives? Are other people better at navigating challenges? Or are other priorities set aside to achieve that perfect attendance?
I'm sure there's no one, all-consuming answer here.
And I'm sure we've all felt torn at times, when we really were needed in two (or more) places in the same instant.
Perfect attendance certainly shows one's committment to school, organizations, work, family events.
But when two important situations intersect, which one gets the perfect attendance?
At the crossroads, which direction do you choose?
