Questions to ask Yourself Before Taking a gap Year
Before commiting 100% to a gap year, there are few things you must consider. Unfortunately life does not grant everyone the same circumstances, but that does not mean we can’t get you to your best life! These are a few questions to ask yourself before making your decision.
Why are you Taking a Gap Year?
You must have a reason for taking a gap year. This could simply be “finding yourself” or deciding what career suits you best. Having direction is important. Without it, who knows where you’ll end up. So choose wisely!
What are you Able to do During Your Gap Year?
This is an important question as no two people have the same circumstances. Take into consideration the resources (financial, accommodation, family support) that you have access to. This is important as you don’t want to commit to anything that’s going to cause issues in other parts of your life.
What do you Want to Achieve After Your Gap Year?
Making sure you choose the right career is very important. This is a very good reason to take a gap year. It is also a great example of a good outcome after a gap year. Detail what you want to have achieved and go for it!
