“I’m interested in a career in photography. I plan on traveling, and I’d like to intern or shadow a photographer. There’s a program I’m looking into where I would spend 12 weeks in Spain, and be able to see amazing sights and learn the language. I decided to take a gap year because I felt that going straight to college was not going to be beneficial for me and taking a year to figure out what I wanted to do. I was worried I was gonna regret it but I have been thinking about how to be more excited for it compared to nervous and worried. I think the more I plan, what I want to do, and thinking about all the cool trips I can go on, it makes me more excited compared to being nervous for a gap year.” -Anna Amato
