Argument Paragraph

Graduates should take a gap year off before collage because, they will be more focused in the

fall. “For example, some students are considered “burnt out” from the twelve years or more years

of school,”(http://www.rasmussen.edu/student-life/blogs/college-life/a-gap-year-weighing-the-

pros-and-cons/) Taking a gap year off may help you get a fresh start in school. High academic

colleges encourage a “gap year,” to become more focused and mature for collage. Students

sometimes need a year between high school and collage to decide what they want to study. More

Americans than ever before are receiving a higher-level education than those who don’t. Similar

to Europe taking a gap year before college is becoming more popular in the United States. An

extra year will help students/families get more money for their education, some believe that

taking a year off of school will be expensive, but if you get a part time job you will gain money

and sometimes extra money. The term gap year doesn’t mean you have to take a full year off.

Some students will take 6 months off. Yes taking a year or so off is a risk, but if you are

motivated to go to college and receive your diploma it is worth it.
