Every person’s gap year will look a little different, but, if you take one, what will you probably do? Why?

As students are getting into university, it is inextricable to take more and more responsibilities for either school assignments or pondering over the future career. Some hold the idea that taking a gap year to look for what they are truly desire, while others choose to achieve the academic degree perpetually. If I had the chance to take a gap year or staying on school to accomplish the degree, what i would probably choose? The answers for my option are enumerated in the following paragraphs.

To begin with, it is a desirable choice to take time for reflection after years of fast-paced and competitive schooling. Taking time off from traditional education provide students an appealing opportunity to contemplate themselves on which educational or career path is the best for themselves before continuing to pursue what they truly want to be. For example, after intense and unstoppable assignment coming out to them, somehow they may have some doubts on what they are doing currently and questioning themselves if it is worth investing their time. Thus, it is definitely a good choice to take time off for reflection.

What’s more, by advancing the future career path, the emphasis on special gap year advantages that school doesn’t have can be fully carried out. Those who are making out of a gap year are able to gain experience from part-time working, seeking out special training, and becoming proficiency in skills related to one’s studies. That is, whether it is obtaining from real-world experience or chasing new experiences via taking on specific projects is beneficial for building up the potential of future career.

Lastly, and most importantly, by getting off a year, the young people may take on a relaxing trip in other countries. When it comes to traveling, it is undeniable that going on a soothing journey enables individuals to see the world from holistic angle rather than lopsided angle. In fact, most become more productive after taking a gap year. Thus, those who choose to temporarily get away from schooling could be pushed to grow their sense of purpose, cultivate their independence, and even change their perspective to one that will help them gain better vision as they return to their schooling life.

To sum up, I would choose to take a gap year as my option to explore more experiences outside of school setting due to taking a break from studying, developing the career path, and traveling to other countries.

  1. Nice essay Welly, several good words, such as contemplate. For the word "inextircable", would "inevitable" be more appropriate? Blog writing is something in between "spoken" and "written" langauge, so we tend not to be too formal. For example, I would replace the word "enumerated" with "listed" or "explained", to make the post "lighter." Also, collocation is important. For example, to take a gap year, to have a gap year, or to do a gap year. Keep up the good work.
