The Good Student

Sue left her dormitory early that morning. She had even washed her uniform the night before. She wanted to look nice for the day.

Sue was committed to learning, and she had a talent for getting good grades.

In fact, Sue didn’t sleep much. She calculated, however, that she only had enough time for a few hours of sleep. She composed a paper and did some work on her thesis about the importance of greenhouses. She also studied for her physics test. Sue was already tired.

During the test, she felt sick. Her face got hot, and her vision began to become unclear. She was blind for a moment. The teacher saw Sue’s apparent problem. He wanted to send her to the nurse. But she wouldn’t go. Sue still had a portion of the test to finish.

After that, Sue went to the nurse. After seeing the secretary, she waited.

A few minutes later, the nurse came in with a glass of juice and told Sue they needed to chat. “It is obvious that you have exhausted yourself,” the nurse said. “If you keep working so hard, it could have severe results.”

“My parents tell me that all the time. I guess I shouldn’t ignore them,” Sue said.

“You have to remind yourself that it is OK to rest,” the nurse said.

When Sue got back to her room, she went right to bed. She made sure she got enough rest every night after that.
