When a student does not attend class, he or she will miss something important about that subject. I would walk past God's life lessons: Room 1. Though, I would enter trouble: Room 000. That's the feeling I had constantly;emptiness. The walk of life is harder than I thought. I never used common sense. I thought I could never learn from God again. Yet again, I was wrong. He welcomed me back with warm arms, compassion and love. I stopped dodging Him. I devoted myself back to Our Lord. Whether you skip rocks or lessons, both have the same result. You skip opportunities,lessons and valuable understanding. If you run away from God, always remember he loves you. Also, truancy is illegal .So
