[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to get some flack from this from the people on this board, but my DS took a gap year and spent the year WWOOFing in various countries in Central America. WWOOF stands for "World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms" - he worked on various organic farms in exchange for food & a place to stay. He wanted to be pushed out of his comfort zone and have some life experiences before starting another 4 years of school. It was challenging and certainly not always fun, but he loved it. And yes, I was as nervous as you'd expect a mother to be in this sort of situation, but it was a good lesson in learning to let go a little. He's now doing really well at the excellent university that he had been accepted into and deferred starting at. He came out of his gap year much more mature and with a new perspective on the world. No regrets! [/quote]
