I had never anticipated taking a gap year, but when I found myself in my senior year of high school with options that just didn’t seem to excite me for college, I began to seek out other options. I had spent a couple weeks the summer before my senior year volunteering solo in Costa Rica, and I wanted to pursue more options that inspired me and led me to challenge myself on a deeper level. Going abroad was honestly something that seemed to just happen, and I can’t imagine where I would be if it weren’t for the seemingly random choice.
