Hey all,

I'm curious to know about your experiences with perfect attendance during school and how it has affected you in your professional life.

• Were you someone who was driven to achieve perfect attendance in school?
• If so, do you think this mindset influenced your approach to going to work, especially when you're not feeling well?
• Did your perspective change at any point in your life, such as during the covid pandemic?

I'd love to hear your stories and insights on this topic. Thanks!

1. Yes. Although I wasn't "driven", it wasn't something I specifically focused on. It was more of knowing I'll learn more being there, plus tuition isn't cheap, why would I not go? There was never anything more important to do. 
2. Yes. I often go to work even when I'm sick, or work from home. In fact, every now and then I take a day off just to catch up on property/home maintenance, and I feel guilty knowing everyone else is in the office working. 
3. Yes, as my children grow, my view on always being in the office, and always being on time has changed. Nowadays, the time I arrive and leave may shift a half hour, or hour, from time to time, depending on school, summer camp, how motivated my kids are in the morning, or what special events they have, etc. And, I no longer feel guilty whenever my time away from the office during the work week is spent with my kids.  Of course, I always try to be available.

In school, I was dealing with a few chronic health conditions that had made perfect attendance unattainable for me. I'm glad I learned to take the time to take care of myself early on but, where I can, I try to limit time off to communicable issues and make other accomodations that don't eat into my available time off for the more ongoing medical stuff. I only have so much time off and I'd like to enjoy it!

I was not driven  cause it was a culture in my family that is transferred from my parents cause when we are sick they encourage us not to show it but brace yourself up .

I once feel sick and I was sent to school by my parent and I was sent back home cause I could not eat my lunch and I was feeling nauseous and during Covid pandemic we went to church

Thanks Ojo,

How do you feel about this now? Do you feel comfortable with your current outlook on how to care for yourself now that you are older? Are there changes that you are considering?
