Life Changing Experience!

I could not be more happy I decided to take a gap year, especially in the AU program. I truly believe the year off allowed me time to reflect on my high school years, specifically how I could mature from a yippy high school student to a young professional. The program in DC allowed me a taste of both college-level classes (and environment, as we are allowed to reside on campus) and the profession I hope to work in some day. At the end of the program I was able to complete another 9-month internship during which I garnered deep professional connections and skills. Overall, I cannot imagine my life without having that experience- it opened so many doors, and my eyes to the young adult I needed to develop into to be more successful in college and my career after.
