Gap year

 

As I know about the gap year , I saw two videos about the gap year and the benefits are that you will travel around the world and see other countries and culture , meet new people in other countries and make relationship with them , you will enjoy because it is an adventure for you . Gap year mean when you take a year in your life or your studies , some of them take the gap year to have fun or relax but others take it for work or volunteer . You can take the gap year in any age but most of them are students which they take it between the high school and the university .

It is a good way to take a gap year after the high school . Many people in the UAE will be interesting if the UAE did it , to let Emirati men or women who want to travel around the world . I would like to take a gap year to go and take a real adventure and meet other people or to go to poor countries to help them or to go with volunteers .If I traveled to other country like poor counties same as Cambodia probably  I will help them in any ways . The gap year is very good for people who want to volunteer in other countries you will write about the in your CV and that will give you a good start for your university or your new job because you will have an experience  .

The word prejudice is most often used to refer to preconceived, usually unfavorable, judgments toward people or a person because of gender, social class, age, disability, religion, sexuality, race/ethnicity, language, nationality or other personal characteristics. It can also refer to unfounded beliefs and may include defined prejudice as a "feeling, favorable or unfavorable, toward a person or thing, prior to, or not based on, actual experience."

 

In my city there was a boy called Salem, nobody loved him because he is conceited and arrogant and doesn’t want to lose money on anything . when we take him with us to the Mall or any other shops or restaurant, he does not stop talking about what he want of if he is hungry, every time we go to the restaurant the bill rise up over 200 dh and he say “ ohhh, I forgot my money at home “, for this reason nobody want to take him because like I said he is conceited.

Last summer was amazing, me and my friends went to Al Marfa to play jet ski, we didn’t think to invite Salem but he was there in sea playing with other guys,  we thought he found new guys to play with them but he is playing with them for their money and we said “ he will never change to better .”

 

In conclusion, I’d like to say that don’t be arrogant with your friends, I hope that everybody respect his friend and help them with everything they need.
