Students should take at least one year off to work or travel after high school before they go to study at a university.
有的地方有点空 所以求批评 哈哈~~~
Studying at universities, a new chapter of life, is the dream of all high school students. Should they do something else, such as a year off working or travelling, prior to their entering universities? From my perspective, it is of great necessity for students to take a gap year before experiencing the life in universities.
Initially, students can better understand themselves and locate their interests during the gap year. High school students follow their intense high school schedules so much that they not only need to excel at their academic work, but are also required to fulfill other talent training courses such as piano or dancing classes. They simply just do what they are told and have little chance to specify something they really like. By taking a long time out or traveling, they can know themselves better and this facilitates their future career. By working in diverse circumstances, students can have practical feeling of dealing with various jobs, and they can find the most appropriate one, which could add color to the dull routine of everyday life. Last summer I have been recruited as a salesperson of P&G, but I found that job really required people who were outgoing and extroverted; consequently, as an introverted and a shy girl, I would not choose that kinds of job as my future career. In addition, by travelling abroad, students can better locate what they really like and what they can really do for the future. If they are given an opportunity to engage in some meditation and social practices, they are likely to discover the true callings.
Secondly, taking a gap year provides students a great chance of refreshing the mind and recharging the battery before entering universities. The education in high schools is intense and more exam-oriented. Immersing themselves in the sea of various subjects, high school students are always exhausted and cram themselves with all fundamental courses, such as math, chemistry, and history. In other words, hardly can they have a break in the daily life. Thus, if students can take a year off doing something different, they can really have a rest and enjoy the beauty of life. For instance, after graduating from high school, I worked in Star barks, learning how to make delicious cookies and tasty coffee, which were my dreams in childhood. This job not only offered me an opportunity to refresh my mind, but also provided me with a close contact with different people, cultures, and skills. After that short experience, which made me threw away all the burden completely, I totally relaxed myself and got a delightful mood to have a new life in college.
Admittedly, taking a year to work or travel may be detrimental. For instance, some high school students, being such a young age, may focus much on things that are fun and interesting. They might end up learning nothing. However, if parents can help children make a schedule, students could also obtain the benefits ultimately. Time can be arranged more properly and efficiently.
In conclusion, taking a gap year is beneficial for high school students, and the life will be more meaningful and colorful.
