“I’ve learned that if I see the big picture and know what it’s benefitting, it will encourage me to work harder,” - Quinn Curren
Most students follow the typical high school to college process without even thinking of the amazing opportunities they could pursue with a little bit of time off. So I highly suggest considering taking a gap year because being successful isn't always defined by your grades in a college class. Adventure, travel and work can open you up to meet new people, help you discover your place in the world and give you a little bit of guidance without even knowing it. These students took a risk, not necessarily because they weren't prepared, but because they knew there was more out there.
“A gap year can broaden your horizons, allow you to meet new people and learn all sorts of things that I, being someone who felt ready for college, take as invaluable skills in my everyday life,” - David Wilson
