Before students go to college, some students are encouraged to work or travel for a year, known as the gap year. Do you think this is a good idea?

Undergraduate is uplift to have a break for a

year

, preparatory to pursue higher education. In my ,opinion

this

is not an ideal scenario, if not planned well, as some junior can

end

up wasting their time. Whereas, it can be beneficial for a scholar who knows exactly what to do. A pupil might

end

up losing momentum, as most are immature with an undeveloped mind. A one

year

gap

is

such

a big void that can easily distract students from their

studies

.

For example

, in a survey conducted in ,U.K it is seen that

gap

years affect the GPA of a student in university. There was underperformance seen in students for having a

gap

period.

Therefore

, without a proper plan for your

gap

year

, it is totally a time waste. A

gap

duration might be expensive which may require a ton of extra planning. Travelling around the world to look for different opportunities

also

require some extra

money

. So, having a proper plan or knowing exactly what to do is essential in order to make it useful,

otherwise

, you will

end

up losing

money

and your

year

.

For instance

, If a person wants to travel or start up something of their own

then

he will require a lot of

money

or resources for that.

Such

resources are hard to get at

such

a small age with no prior experience or education. In conclusion, a break period prior to your higher

studies

is motivated by many people.

However

, I firmly believe that students can

end

up wasting their time and

money

and most importantly they can get distracted from their

studies

.

This

can result in their lack of performance in college, so it is important for them to plan their

gap

year

properly.

Also

, they should keep in mind that after a

year

, they will pursue their

studies

.
