Art in my Life

During my gap year, I can’t say that I have read any poems or gone to any art shows. However, I did listen to a lot of music. Music is art right? I’d say that the best album I have listened to this year has been Dawn Fm, by The Weeknd. Out of all theContinue reading “Art in my Life”

People in My Gap Year

Throughout my entire gap year, my mom has always been that person right beside me. When I ran the idea through her, she was very excited and supportive of my choice to take a year off. We both saw the experience and knowledge as a great opportunity. When days are rough, she is always theContinue reading “People in My Gap Year”

Bravery in my Gap Year

In my gap year, there are many things that are out of my comfort zone. For starters, having to hold conversations with doctors about something in their field of knowledge. They have been through years of schooling to gain the knowledge they have. I have Google and a good memory. I was stressed at theContinue reading “Bravery in my Gap Year”

Graduation vs. Now

Its been about 5-6 months since I graduated and honestly the time has flown by. If I had to compare myself from before and after, I wouldn’t say much has changed. I have learned, I have grown, and I have more experience than before. With that being said, I am still the same person IContinue reading “Graduation vs. Now”

Surprising Thing About my Gap Year

What surprised me in my gap year is how busy I have turned out to be. During the week days, I am busy for at least 8-10 hours straight. I don’t see this as a problem, just a shock that it has ended up this way. Juggling my responsibilities and my routine was difficult toContinue reading “Surprising Thing About my Gap Year”

My Day Refereeing

One interaction I had in my gap year that stood out was the first day I refereed. I have done it many years and I always find that the first day is the most entertaining. A lot of kids are brand new and so are the other refs that were assigned to me. So insteadContinue reading “My Day Refereeing”

Day to Day Life

My day to day life is always changing so it would be hard to nail it down in writing. However, I do have some routines that stay the same pretty much every week so I will focus on that. In the morning, after I brush my teeth and get ready, I take my dogs outsideContinue reading “Day to Day Life”

My Three Goals

There are many things I would like to accomplish during my gap year, so it is hard to just choose three. But if I had to, which I do, I would say the top three things would be preparing for my future career, volunteering with the Optimist Club organization, and learning valuable life skills (suchContinue reading “My Three Goals”
