6 reasons I'm glad I took a GAP YEAR + over $35,000 in gap year scholarships 💰

I'm only halfway through my gap year but I've already had so many valuable experiences that I'm convinced this is one of the best decisions I've ever made. In this video I wanted to recap 6 reasons (so far) that I'm really glad I took a gap year - how it helped me to gain skills, see more of the world, and become more independent.

This video is in collaboration with the Gap Year Association's Gap Year Exploration Month #explorethegapyear. Throughout this month, there will be in-person gap year fairs, online webinars to answer your gap year questions, and scholarship contests. If you're considering taking a gap year, please take advantage of these resources! (I wish I had known I could win $3,000 for my gap year 😭 but now I'm trying to help the next generation of gappers instead, hahaha)
