We are living through difficult times, but also times that provide us with new opportunities. How you come through this quarantine period depends on how you are preparing yourself now for your growth. Maybe that means weeding your closet of the clothes and shoes you no longer wear and boxing them up to donate later. Or maybe it's pruning back unproductive and unhealthy habits. Think about what you need to clear out of your life to allow for more room, and time, for your growth.
Special Gap Year Programs Benefit ManyGap year and gap semester programs have always been very popular in Europe and are quickly gaining popularity in the U.S. For some students, this hiatus from the lock step march through their academic careers provides a timely opportunity to tackle new challenges, pursue passions and become more self-confident, self-sufficient and self-aware through travel, work, study and community service.

Recalling when summer meant a break from stress Exams are finished, the next SAT isn't until the fall, and there's nothing to do for the next three months except sleep late, read trashy novels, and hang out with friends. Unless you're like many of our clients and have summer days filled with internships, college visits, and resume building volunteer work. Our message to you - keep busy, keep happy, and, above all, keep balanced. Summer is the time to explore new interest and try new experiences, but it's also an important time for rest and renewal.
