Wingrove is also a black belt in tae kwon do, an Eagle Scout, the drum captain for the band and a member of the National Honor Society.

That kid is a machine!!! Wow, I really did not have a wild hair to see how long I could go without missing a day. I used to have my sister write notes for when I skipped school, she could sign the note like my mom. Hehe, was only caught once.

That is a pretty impressive record. Too bad you didn't go to my school, Aragorn, I could have used your sisters talents! I used to try everything, but my Mom was tough. Unless I had a fever of over 101, I was going to school.

My parent's motto was "if you can walk, you can go to school" biggrin.gif

However, I did end up missing a lot of time in high school because of my migraines and very messed up immune system. All I can say is that that kid is very impressive!
