Why Sleeping May Be More Important Than Studying

By Katrina Schwartz
  • One thing that I already knew about sleep was that it is important to your mental health. But, it is very challenging to get the right about of sleep every night.
  • One new thing that I learned while reading this article was that many children are facing serious sleep derivation issues. This is affects test scores around the country. The study conducted was to see what happens with a child is able to properly rest. By sleeping, children are able to retain and recall more information.

But, when I first studied abroad, I wanted to take the time to learn what I wanted to do and what makes me happy. This drive helped me to...

Notice: This Story will be used in my portfolio this semester.  WEBSITE LINK (Image Taken From Google ) There once was a pond deep in the middle of nowhere. This pond was special because there was an abundance of fish and wildlife. Among the wildlife, there was a crane. This crane was no ordinary crane, he was lonelier than the rest. Day by day, he would befriend the fish in the pond because of his lack of crane friends. Crane: "Hey guys! How are you today?" The Fish (in unison): "Hey crane! We are good. Do you want to play with us today?" In response, the Crane agreed. He just wanted to have some friends. Being a crane is a lonely life. As time passed, he grew hungry from playing in the water. It was getting closer to his lunchtime. We suggested to the fish that they play by a tree. He did not know that fish could not breathe out of the water. During the first trip across the pond, the fish died. Because he was hungry, it decided it was best t...
