[quote=Anonymous]My dd never would have considered if not for Covid, but as one of the ‘20 high school grads it made the most sense. That 20-21 year was unique in that so many kids were gapping, but it ended up being a year of real growth for her that shaped her future in some very positive ways. She did a combo of paid work / volunteer work and some outdoor-oriented adventuring. She figured out all the details herself, located opportunities that fit was she was looking for ( WWOOF, Workaway) and developed new skills and interests that have shaped her college experience and professional direction. My younger kid will graduate from HS next year and wants to just go straight to college and in a way I think it’s too bad he’ll miss out on the potential growth experience his sister had. [/quote]
