2,340 days of school, and counting!

Kevin Davis of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, recently earned a special honor at his high school. He is the first student ever to graduate with a single absence from Kindergarten through 12th grade. That's 2,340 school days in a row. He even dislocated his shoulder playing football last year and showed up for class the next morning.


He says he watched his parents get up and go to work his whole life, even when they didn't feel great, and that's where he got his work ethic. He plans to study at culinary school next year, and some of his teachers are so impressed by his attendance that they started a GoFundMe page to help pay his tuition. So far he's received $25,000, and promises the money will be spent wisely.
