Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. ___________________ Studying in the high school is a breakthrough time for each student. It`s a time when students face real adult problems: where to continue further studying, which path to choose, and who is better to become. Some people take a gap year in order to figure out their future plans. Other prefer do not miss a chance and apply for colleges or look for a job. There are many pros and cons of supporting or not gap years. First of all, discussing the advantages of a gap year worth to say that students in a high school mainly do not have an idea what to do after their graduation. Undoubtedly, they can have math or language skills, but the vague questions appear - how and where they can implement it. Taking a gap year can help to find themselves, meet new people, hear a different point of views and get inspiration from some success stories. Commonly, parents make a decision instead of their kids and force their own views on children. For example, parents of my classmate always dreamed about their son would become an accountant and insisted him to apply for Account and Finance Faculty. As much as my friend did not know all features of this specialty, he quitted studying on the second year and wasted a lot of time on the things he never liked. On the other hand, there are a few disadvantages to taking a gap year. Constantly studying at school keep students on the right working track: classes, clubs, competitions etc. When students begin unfollowing this regime, they get used to delay important matters, spend more time with friends and forgot about their goals. For instance, my nephew after school graduation decided to take only one gap year in order to find himself somewhere. In a result he spent almost 4 years, working on different not well-paid jobs and promising himself that he will start studying definitely next year. To sum up, sometimes gap years can help to find inspiration for new goals, but on occasions, gap years can take a lifetime and waste a lot of efforts and productivity.
