[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the professor and college mental health professional. You need to let her decide for herself. I also strongly encourage a gap year (though again, she needs to decide for herself. She can also take a gap year later after her first year of college if she's having trouble.) I wasn't ready for college, and kept wanting to take a year off to figure out what i wanted to do. I didn't do it because my parents put some pressure on me not to. But finally I was doing so badly that I stopped in the middle of my junior year and said I just have to take a year off! I worked for that year. There is nothing like working and living independently to create internal motivation, which is what any student needs to do well. I wish I'd taken the time off earlier so I wouldn't have wasted so much time.[/quote]
