GAP YEARS
After watching the documentaries recommended by the Professor, I have come to conclusion that gap years are beneficial to the ones who take the time off and spend it wisely. Gap years give many advantages to students, whether it is during their university or after graduation and applying for a job. It helps expand their knowledge and understanding to other cultures at a young age. As stated in one of the videos, the students that come back from a gap year are more mature and social with classmates and professors.
It is different to Emiratis when it comes to gap year. As stated in the documentary, many take gap years in the UK because of applications being denied and the global economic recession causing the lack of job offers. We are lucky as locals in this country as education is a priority and given to all whom ask for it, whether it is abroad or locally. Job security is much better than other countries for fresh graduate locals, thus making us hungry for work and financial stability after we graduate.
I doubt that gap year suits me. Reason being is that I am currently employed under the army. So after graduation, I would report to duty. But under different circumstances, I would like to move to Japan for a year and learn their culture and local sport that they have perfected called drifting. I would benefit a lot from them and the method used for the sport’s safety. I would implement the things I learned since the sport is still young and lacks experienced hoping it will benefit the locals and the younger generation who might be interested in this sport.
