It is apparent that in some of the countries, parents and teachers encourage children to take a
year
 to
study
 or visit after their schooling and before entering into the university studies. In
this
 essay, I will discuss some of the benefits And negatives resulting from
this
 trend.
Firstly
, looking at some of the significant benefits, when children take a
year
 of
time
 to travel or
work
, they will have ample
time
 to find their interests and decide what they intend to become in their life and know the real world.
This
 is because they
have not had
Suggestion
had not had
 an adequate
time
 to see what the real world is as they have been studying their studies since they were very young and they are exposed with little real-world knowledge which is vital in these days. To illustrate
this
, a recent survey done by National Geography revealed that those children who took a
year
 of
time
 to travel or
work
 are extremely happier in their
work
 than those who did not
this
 opportunity. If children did not take any
time
 to travel or
work
 after school, they might regret in their life that they should have studied something that would have helped them in life, they might choose to finish their university studies without knowing what they are interested in and they might not have an opportunity to interact with the professional in the workplace.
However
, there are some negatives associated with
this
.
Firstly
, they may be distracted by different things, making them shift their focus on other things since they are exposed to a lot of things around them.
Secondly
, they may feel uncomfortable with others and lag behind their peers in studies since they
study
 with one
year
 younger students.
Finally
, they can sometimes discontinue their studies as they may lose their interests in studies In conclusion,
although
 they can reap some benefits
such
 as choosing to
study
 what are willing to, negatives should be taken into account when making a decision about travelling or working for a
year
 before their university
study
.
