Graduating from high school and taking the next big step toward college can be daunting, so a growing number of students are choosing to take a gap year to focus on personal growth. And that was basically how my life went for the majority of the time I spent in school. If you'd like to contribute a text or video piece, please email gapyear@huffingtonpost.com and tell us all about your experience. Now I know what you're thinking -- what am I possibly going to do with my degree? I'm not really sure where this gap year is going to take me (or whether it's going to be successful) but I'm excited to take a chance, not have anything planned, and see what opportunities this year brings.
