| Why did you take a gap year? - was it planned? | |

| I worked at Sutton’s and Limelight Signs for 10 months then went to Spain for 6 weeks. | |
| What were the advantages of taking a gap year? What did you achieve? | |
I
earned money to go to uni with! Always an
advantage as budgets are never easy to stick
to. It also makes me work as I remember how
bored I was sometimes and it reminds me that
that is NOT how I want to live! |

| Not really, although my friends from school all left and are graduating this year and going of into the real world. | |
