The gap year is the first year between completing high school and starting college or university. Many students use this time to prepare for the following year and look for a job, a place to live or explore other opportunities, like volunteering or go traveling. Some people worry that if you take a year off from school you won't go back. However there are many opportunities that can present themselves when one is in a gap year and so it's also important to be open to the unknown.
