Have you ever wondered if there was something else after high school? You know you want an education, you know you want a degree, but you aren’t sure you want to jump right into college? Maybe you want a little bit of a break from the books, to do something completely different. To do something totally out of the ordinary, something that will stretch you as a person.
Well, you’re not alone. There have been thousands of young people who have decided to do just that; take a gap year. A gap year is one year, whether it be between high school and college, or even later, where a person takes out a year to do whatever and go wherever their imagination can take them. Experts say that students who have taken one year to focus their time and abilities, came back more energized and ready to take on the challenges of life. It could be volunteering to bring water to countries in Africa, doing a local internship, or hiking the Himalayas of India. Studies have shown that by taking a gap year students gain invaluable life experience, opportunities to mature as an individual, and have been more likely to excel in further higher education institutes such as colleges and universities.
If this sounds like you, maybe Focus One is the perfect fit. Maybe you are graduating soon, and you have no idea what you want to do with your life? What better way to discover your God-given destiny then to spend a year totally focusing on Him. Or maybe you just want to take a year off to get some ‘once in a lifetime’ experiences? At Focus One our students have the opportunity to travel the country, go on an overseas missions trip, and even invest and engage in our community right here in Rockford, Illinois.
So why not do a gap year with Focus One? Imagine what would happen if you took one year of your one life, to focus on the one God. If God created the earth in six days, imagine what he could do with one year. The possibilities are truly endless!
