I don't get sick easily, I only miss about 1 day a month for sickness.
And sometimes, I'll fake sick, if we aren't doing anything important that day, and I need a little 'school vacation' , taking a break re-energizes me and I usually do better in school once I take a day off. That's about... once a month, too.
Plus I miss a ton of days for skating, that's about.. 3 times a month.
So in total, about 5 days absent per month. Sometimes, we go down to Florida for a week and miss school, but that's only about every 3-4 months.
