hours in the day to eat, go to school, work and sleep. I am not a lazy person and I do not just slide by in school. I work hard to attain all that I have and I stay determined to maintain every single day of every single semester. The price I pay is my precious sleep.

I am not a person who can function on just a few good hours of sleep. I need at least the typical eight hours of sleep, but even then I find myself dragging throughout the day, just waiting for that moment when I can rest my head on my pillow and close my eyes.

In the end it's all so fun and exciting anyway because, after all, it is college. Some day I will achieve the state of being rested, but until then I will continue to miss my sleep.

This ridiculous policy banishes the student from the Cabrini family, not accepting them into the Catholic family, not accepting them like the Catholic faith teaches.

In closing, I would like Student Development and Dean Bob Bonfiglio to reread the school's charter and The Bible so they might change the way they are acting. If Mother Cabrini were still alive, she would be extremely upset.
