School
 is a long journey that the local community individuals should go through from childhood to adolescence. In
this
 essay I’m going to answer two questions,
first
 what makes
school
 leavers avoid studying in the
first
year
 after graduation from
school
, or secondary, and what are the drawbacks of
this
 action?
Although
school
 is necessary for kids and they should move through it because it teaches them a lot of things socially and academically, at the same time it gives them a feeling of safety and provides them clear future plan.
Furthermore
, during the
school
 period, the students are just focusing on their study
year
 and not what should be done after that in order to build their future.
However
, Once
school
 is finished students got shocked that they should start to provide
money
 for themselves and no one will do that for them.
Therefore
 some of them think that he has to work to gain enough
money
 to continue his education.
On the other hand
, some already have enough
money
 from their parents so they decide to travel to a new country where they can learn a new language or find a better job which helps them to make
money
 and study. There are disadvantages to delaying university application for one
year
 depending on the person’s motivation, passion and desire to learn.
Nevertheless
,
this
 practice can affect the person’s well to learn and it may feel difficult to study after one
year
 of rest from studying.
On the other hand
, working allows you to get
money
 whereas studying needs you to pay. In my ,opinion
this
 issue is sufficient to make the students lazy which keeps them away from studying. To conclude, Taking a rest from university for a
year
 for travelling or work can be necessary for some people to enable them to join university but
this
 action has drawbacks which might affect the student's desire and wellness to learn.
