CEI Gap Year in The Bahamas

Gap Year Spring 2012

Mar 23, 2012

Hello everyone! My name is Sarah, and I just completed the Spring 2012 Gap semester. I have a feeling you were expecting this, but the experience, in a word, was great. A few things were tough (being away from my family for eight weeks, sharing the dorm with a lot of girls [there were 23 sharing it at one point!], being patient with myself as I learned to SCUBA...). However, the positive definitely outweighed the negative; after all, who gets to wake up in the morning, step outside, and be 15 feet from the beach?? Or know that our "work day" includes diving? Even doing dishes was out of the ordinary - we did them in a room with a view of the ocean that people pay millions of dollars for!
I feel that the whole experience really helped me to better figure out who I am and what I want to do with my life, and it helped me realize that, yes, I do want to do marine science. I would absolutely recommend that other students my age do a Gap semester!
