The Defining Moment of My Life


     It seems like every since I was young enough to remember, I have been working hard doing school work. Every day is just another day, another homework, another pain. I need many things to keep me going in my everyday struggle against the plight of public school that an ignorant Englishman forced upon children so long ago. He didn’t foresee the lack of sleep, food, morale, and other things that would occur because of this choice. And this, Ms. Britenburg, is why I need that extra day of comfort.
     This day, if given, will relieve great stress that has built up due to my everyday college life. From things such as homework that has taken longer than expected, to no free time, to making bad grades because of not studying enough, my life has been a mess. A majority of these things cause or are caused by a lack of sleep. One extra day might seem like a small favor to afford a hardworking student like me but I think it will make a great difference. This one day will give me one more day of full rest: from three in the morning to three in the afternoon. This affords me more aware time where I think better and my English paper flows from my mind. It also affords me time to dream of the time when I will be the richest man on earth. And honestly, I just need sleep. 
     When I say that I am not getting enough food, it is most certainly a lie. However, my schedule of when I eat food has been going crazy and I am hungry at odd times. An extra day off will give me one more day to get back into a normal healthy schedule. And not only this but an extra day off will allow me to eat healthier foods and steak. This extra day will give me more protein which will increase my brain mass which will then affect the proficiency of my writing for English. How amazing is that?
     Last but not least I have my family that has been with me through hard times and good times. They are my source for morale and that’s running low due to my current grades in some classes. That one extra day, that extra twelve hours I spend with my family could determine whether I continue to write that hard English paper or drop out of college because I just cant do it. Do you want to be the reason I drop out of college?
     College life is stressful and I have been very busy. I think one more day off will allow me to cool down and sleep peacefully for once. This one day out of all other thousand days I will have could determine the future, so please make the right choice and let us go home!
