I don't remember much before high school, but in 11th and 12th grade I never really got sick. I would sometimes stay home just because I didn't feel like going in. 11th grade I did it occasionally. 12th grade at the beginning I did it rarely because I wanted to see my girlfriend at school, but the second semester I did it fairly often.

These days I can't just call in to work and say I'm sick. If I want to take a sick day they send me to the aid station and if I'm not really sick I kinda get in trouble. It's not really worth it. In the past four years I haven't taken a single sick day at work.
