Take a Break or Take Classes? by Treasure - August 2019 Scholarship Essay

Not everyone wants to go straight to college after high school, and that's okay. If I decide to take a year off before going to college I would do many things to make that year worth it. I would make an successful plan to ensure my year before college doesn't go to waste. During my gap year I would improve on myself, do volunteer work, and go on adventures.

Improving on myself is one of the things I would do during a gap year. I would focus on personal growth and skill building. Improving on my skills and even developing new ones,doing Spa days, yoga, and meditation are simple ways to help myself. I would also try to figure out what I what to do with my life. So many students go into college not knowing what they really what to do and end up changing their majors. Improving my mental and physical state will come in handy to finding my true purpose and knowing exactly what I what to do when I go to college.

While making myself better I would volunteer to make the world better. Volunteering comes natural and makes me happy. I would get a small group of people that also love to volunteer and go to places and do different services. Building homes, donating, and caring for kids around the world are some of the many things I would do.

During a break fun has to happen at some point. I would go on adventures all around the world; my goal is to explore every continent. There are so many things I what to try and now I would have the time to. From climbing Mount Everest to sky diving the range of fun is endless. I would go on simple trips like zoos, beaches,and museums but also visit amazing places like Paris, Hawaii, and Florida.

I don't like to waste my time on anything, even a gap year. If I would take a gap year I would be sure to improve on myself,do community service, and have fun. The break would have so many benefits for my life and assist me in doing better in college. There are so many things people can do during a gap year, they just have to do the right things to make it worth it.
