<p>I am finding myself so very thankful for the internet community. There is no other way could have got so many thoughtful, probing, and helpful questions so fast.</p>
<p>I have considered doing a gap year on many occasons. However, my age prohibits me from a lotof gap year options. Traditionally, the gap year was a long-term break from full-time study to travel abroad, persue mission work, gain career experience, love as an exchange student, or hone a specialized skill. Unfortunately, I cannot travel, be a long-term misionary, or be an exchange student because non one wants to be organizations that provide those oppurtunities do not want to be responsible for a minor. here also aren’t many work oppurtunities beyond fast food and retail for fifteen year olds. I could take a year to spend more time on music or sports. But, I am concerned about social issues. </p>
<pre><code> Right now, I do not belong in a high-school setting. I tried that and found that I didn’t relate the way the other kids my age did. I often felt socially inept, introspective, and very stupid. This was unusual as I happen to be a very social, outgoing, and extroverted person. I have found myself happiest when relating to college age students at Church and with my older siblings’ circles. I feel that I do not belong with most kids my age and it would be socially and emotionally damaging to not interact with older students.
