OPINION ESSAY: A GAP YEAR

Thank you Dayanna for sharing 😘


EVERY STUDENT SHOULD TAKE A GAP YEAR AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. DISCUSS.

Have you considered taking a gap year? This isn't about dedicating yourself to doing nothing for 12 months. It's a time when the routine is broken and experiences are lived that help you to grow personally in academically.

A gap year helps you to know yourself more and better, you will face problems and situations that you had never experienced before and you will make decisions that you hadn't considered yet. You will overcome challenges and increase your confidence. If you go to an unknown country you will have to solve your problems without help. As a consequence, you will become more responsible, more independent and will increase your self-confidence. You may also lose shyness and insecurity because you have to talk to strangers. The deal with people from other cultures will open your mind and therefore you will have a different perspective on things. In addition, this experience will increase your network of friends and you will be able to practice other languages because you will be forced to speak in a language different from yours.

In conclusion, a gap year may be what you need to clarify ideas, you will live enriching experiences. What's more, it's a journey of self-knowledge, so you connect with yourself and discover your path and your life purpose.
