HUDSON, TX (KTRE) -
Loren Huffstetler walks the halls
Hudson High School like any other senior.
But unlike any of her classmates, over
the past 13 years she hasn't missed a single day of school.
"She's done really well she's never been
one to get up and say 'I don't want to go' she's always gotten up and gone to
school without any problem," said Charlotte Huffstetler, Loren's mom.
Charlotte Huffstetler has made perfect
attendance a priority for her daughter.
"I had perfect attendance my last four
years of high school and I just thought it would be something special that no
one could take away from her," said Charlotte Huffstetler.
Loren says school is a great chance to be with
friends and her passion for drill team and favorite class make school less of a
chore.
"I've always been like in love
with English and she always talks about stuff that's interesting like Hamlet,
Shakespeare," said Loren Huffstetler.
Charlotte says Loren has always had a good
attitude about school attendance, but her final year was challenging.
"At the beginning it was just
something that happened but towards my senior year, like I wanted to do senior
skip day and stuff and they we're like no you should keep going," said
Loren Huffstetler.
Assistant principal Jeff Walker says Loren
didn't achieve the perfect record on her own.
"I think it takes more than just
the student, I think it takes a great family support and the support of the
school providing a purpose for them to come up here and do well," said Walker.
Charlotte hopes her daughter's perfect record
will instill values for a lifetime.
"Perfect attendance from school will also
help her career because attendance is very important in work," said
Charlotte Huffstetler.
Giving Loren something she'll always
remember, even after graduation.
"It's a big accomplishment and it
makes you feel good about yourself," said Loren Huffstetler.
