[quote=Anonymous]Our DS is on a gap year -- he was accepted and deferred a year -- we were pleasantly surprised he was accepted into the college of his choice as we thought he would be doing college applications. He is doing scholarship applications. We had him develop a plan during his senior year in HS. He needed to do something larger than himself, travel and applications. He is working on his EMT, tutored through Catholic Charities, part-time job, traveled some, found reading lists on a State department rand CIA website and is working through some books, learned how to get his car services, weekly shopping (those other things that magically happened) He needed to submit a paper to his college in Jan re: his gap year experience. I will admit I was skeptical at first and thought it would be a year of "basement dwelling" -- which we weren't going to allow. He has really matured. Gap year doesn't need to be some expensive program. You should have some form of plan.[/quote]
