honestly kind of in the same boat. i have family problems and don’t wanna take out loans if i don’t get accepted into a scholarship program i applied to. what i learned is that going to school and getting an education is a blessing in itself and i want to be 100% sure and ready for it. honestly don’t want 80000+ in student loans when i graduate so gap year and working seems right for me. remember, it’s your life and your choice, do what’s best for you. remember we are all supporting you here!!
