It is good, as a human being, to put yourself in different situations. We have a very long life that we have been given and I think that we are taught to think too narrowly of it. There are literally millions, and billions, of things you could end up doing. Every one you choose to partake in will be valuable to you. I promise. At the time, it may seem like the wrong decision, or maybe you get lucky; it feels just right. But two things are for certain: you will never know unless you try, and you will always pick up some wisdom from life.
Life is too vast to be so hard on ourselves... to think that the pressure to stick to one thing is valid. So what if we don't follow a plan? Fug it. Follow your bliss and follow your heart. You'll have more fun and be happier. This doesn't always mean school for everyone, and I want you to know that that's okay.
Respecting opportunities that offer change and adventure is not just young human decision. I have learnt this year that through your entire life you have the ability to choose.(!!!) You should always be aware of the freedom that you have. What is stopping you from having the life you want? Quite often, the only answer is ourselves. What it takes is making a choice, and having the courage or naivety to go for for it. (Plus some hard work, this goes without saying.)
I took a year off because it seemed like the best thing to do, and that's the only real reason. This year has given me lots, and I am very grateful.
There was never such thing a gap year, only another year lived in full.
