▶ In globalized society many people think that it is not a better way to take a year off to travel or work for their life before entering the univeristy. They probably feel that taking a year off could be waste of time. However, in my opinion, to take a year off or work can be a great opportunity for their life. There are two reasons why i feel this.
First of all, If students get a job before going to the university. They can make a wide relationship. To be specific, During the high school, student usually meet their friends, teacher, sometime other people who just work in school as i did. But if they make their own way by working or traveling outside, they meet different kinds of people. In addition, they can learn from them about life as well as gain diverse people who can help them in the future. As old saying gose, the most important thing is relationship. Thus it is better way to take a year off to travel or work.
On top of that, when they get a jog or travel, they make a diffrent point of view. This is because shighschool is small world. Let's take personal experience. when i was 20, i did not know what i want to study and to do. So i decided to take a year off to travel. I visited middle east; Turkey, Jordan, Israel, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon. While i traveling, i met a diverse culture i've never met. During the traveling, my curiosity was getting bigger, So i wanted know about political problem between israel and lebanon. If i did not travle, i would never have a interest. After going back to Korea, I made a decision to study politic in the university. In this regard, I belive that student should have thier time to travel or work.
To sum up, students can make a wide relationship and make a different point of view in their life. In this regard, I firmly belive that it is helpful to take a year off to travel of work before going the university.
