Senior Anna Pleskow recently decided to do a gap year. A gap year is a year where a student takes off of school to pursue their interests.
What are your college plans?
I just got into VCU art school. It’s every year so the admission is only for that year. I have not yet decided on what year I am going to take off yet. It might end up being this year but I will have to figure it out.
What was your initial motivation for taking a gap year?
I just really want to travel the world. I think I want to be a photographer so I want to get pictures before college. I really want to au pair in a country like Nepal and India just so I can get out of my comfort zone.
How are you funding your travels?
If you do a lot of research there are a lot of inexpensive travel opportunities and I am working at Starbucks to earn extra money.
