There is a way to make that happen and for many it's been the best decision they ever made. But don't get me wrong. Everyone needs to consider what kind of Gap Year they are going to take.
The first time I heard about a Gap Year was when my son graduated high school and decided jumping into college wasn't on his agenda.
