Gap Year Solutions

Katherine's help was fabulous in helping my son plan his Gap year, which was last-minute due to Covid. With the unpredictability of Covid, Katherine helped us navigate which programs she felt were likely to go forward (some got cancelled!) and set up meetings so my son could assess and choose. Her one-on-one conversations with him helped him figure out what he was looking for, and her good humored prodding helped him complete the interviews and applications.
After the semester program was over, she made suggestions to help him find work (also difficult during Covid!), and before he went to school he did a road trip with friends from the gap year program, which Katherine encouraged. Overall, his gap year was a great mix of amazing experiences and hard work, and when he went to school after the gap year he was much more mature and motivated. I was skeptical that his grades would be better after being out of school for so long, but they were excellent and he was even able to transfer to the business school because of it.
All of us, including our son, think a gap year was a fantastic decision, and Katherine was instrumental in making it the success it was.
