Should I take a gap year after highschool?

Do you think taking a gap year is a good thing?

  • Hello :) Do you think taking a gap year after highschool is a good idea or not? I'm really leaning towards taking one, and I would want to go to Africa to volunteer with wildlife. I would return home in time to take a few classes at the local college (which I would transfer to university the following year), and to work to earn a little cash. So good idea or not? If you've taken a gap year, please tell me about your experiance

  • Answer:

    I think it is a great idea. Nothing in school can teach you as much as a year in another country does.

As said by Stacy, there are some pros and cons to this - but overall it should be an amazing experience! Think about all the sights and people you'll meet ( not to mention the food as well!) I know some who have been on successful gap year and they said it was great to explore the world and different cultures rather than just stay in your own. As for uni and you volunteering for the animal wild care ( that's so sweet) they can wait - you've got your whole life right ahead of you - don't you?

Well there's pros and cons and you have to consider those. I've been thinking about it too, but I honestly don't know. I'm sure volunteering in Africa would look really good when you came back, but I'm not sure it's worth the risk.
