Ooh!
I'm so excited about finishing, I have this.. 2 year plan. xD
When I finish, straight away I'm going to New Zealand, then I want to get a traineeship at the library or the pound, then after that year I'm going to walk the Kokoda track, go to Germany then France. =D

That's my plan anyway.. who knows honestly?

sure. But the British economy is fucked right now, employment may be hard to find.

Benefits;
You get to explore the world (if you wish) with insights of a mature teenager.
You also get to meet new people and experiance a broader value of life.

(imo)
I have travelled a hell of a lot through my short 16 yrs of life, even when I was little.
It was always a good experiance to meet new people, but also scary =p

But with ever great height there is allways a downfall. (For uni students)
If you plan on going to uni you may find it hard unless you have complete dicipline over your head.

I'm taking a gap year because I know I can abosolutely force myself to go to university, and I will still revise what I need to know for uni.
