My Discover Year review

High school was a really rough time for me. I was bullied and picked on and treated like I was not important. It was not a good time for me at all. After high school I figured I needed to take a year off to learn the skills of being a mature adult and living on your own. I found Discover Year and after one look knew it was the perfect fit for me. I have benefited from it in many ways as a person. It has helped me to build a resume and with the conflicts and struggles I've had with my jobs and finding new ones. It also helped me to prepare to travel on my own. I have been fortunate enough to have had two travel experiences this year. I would not have been able to have looked after myself as well as I did had it not been for Discover Year. I also met lots of great people and felt very included, more than ever in high school. This one year alone has made up for all 4 years of high school socially. We only meet in person once a month but I have still made lots of new friends and felt very included. I am very glad I got to do Discover Year and I would recommend it to anyone in a similar situation as I was.
