Document Summary
Week 1: what"s the first thing you should do when you get into college?/ road less traveled in america: take a gap year. I won"t pretend i knew it all, or even that i know it all now. As the year went on, i struggled greatly with how best to be in the developing world. These are questions i don"t have answers to even now, but if given the chance, i"d do it all over again the same way. My gap year was challenging and confusing, invigorating and tiring, thrilling and scary. But i leave you with this to ponder over: that if you think you understand the world, than maybe you haven"t seen enough of it with your own eyes. A study at middlebury college found that students who took a gap year showed a consistently higher gpa than those who did not.
