I'd like to take a year off between my sophomore and junior year of HIGH SCHOOL to do something enriching?

Question

I'd like to take a year off to do something enriching that would look good on a college application. I know these things aren't common, but if anyone knows about anything please let me know. I'm switching schools between sophomore and junior year so i figured if i'm gonna do anything like this before i graduate high school this would be the best time.

Answer 1

Get pregnant and have a baby! That will enrich your life.

Answer 2

You're actually better off doing that after high school because, at 14 or 15, you just don't have the maturity. Plus, the most fun you can have around the world is when you're 18 anyways.

Answer 3

why not pick up a new drug habit with a view to starting up your own business in the field of selling crack to your school chums....

Answer 4

I think that a year is a bit long for you to take off. There are plenty of things that you could do during the summer that would look good to colleges without leaving for a whole year. Or you could do some sort of foreign exchange program. That would be fun and exciting as well as enriching. I always wanted to go to another country while I was in high school.
