The best unexpected year

I originally didn't plan on taking a gap year—but I'm so glad I did! Baret Scholars was an amazing opportunity to make friends from all over the world and visit places I never thought I would have the opportunity to go. One of my favorite memories was watching the sunset in the Amazon, living on a boat for a week, and sleeping in hammocks every night. I encourage everyone to apply to Baret, even if you are not 100% sure about taking a gap year or not. Baret is a unique opportunity and I'm very grateful for every second of it.
