I GUESS THIS MIGHT BE COOL AND ALL ,
BUT I THINK I ’M JUST GOING TO GO TO
COLLEGE.
But Why?

What is the importance of taking a year before college?
“By taking this year, I have come to understand myself and my role in this world. I came to change the lives of those around me to only find that they would change me.”-Personal communication 2013

If you are you’re saying to yourself,
I have no idea what I want to major in college.
Where do I go to college?!
I’m just not ready.
I wish that I could do some good.
I want to learn a language before it’s too late.
Consider taking a bridge year!
I want a hands on learning experience!
I want adventure, challenge, and personal growth.
I want to work on a language that I’ve been learning in school.
I want to live in another culture.
