One Senior’s Plan for a Gap Year
Gap year provides career opportunities
Isabella Pittman has plans to take a gap year between graduation and the beginning of her freshman year at the University of Florida. For this year she has many hopes and dreams she wishes to accomplish before starting college. Some of these aspirations she hopes to accomplish because she feels she will not have time to set aside to do them later in life. This is her plan:
- “I’m fascinated by medicine so I will be interning with the Surgeon General of Florida to learn more about medicine and politics which is what I’d like to work in.”
- “I will be studying abroad in Australia and Europe which I’m so excited about.”
- “I’ll also be going to Nicaragua with a few doctors to help a village down there for a month with medical needs,”
- “Also for a majority of the year I will be working for Selective College Counseling with Bob Levine a Harvard Law graduate who helps high schools get into the best colleges for them. He works with many plan Plant kids and Mr. Levine plans on expanding his business so I will be helping him market this upcoming year and work one on one with students and their essays for college. “
- “I also look forward to visiting my friends in college throughout the year and see how they are doing.”
