From the day she started kindergarten at Hood Avenue Elementary through graduation at Fayette County High, Heidi went 13 years without missing a single day of school. “I have really been blessed with good health. On the rare occasion that I became ill, it was always on a Friday, so I had the weekend to rest and recuperate,” said Heidi. “On the days when I did not feel like going to school, I just told myself, ‘You’re too close to give up now, and this will all be worth it in the end!’”
