A gap year is an face related with taking time out to travel between life stages. The gap year is between the school and university when students travel and take a break like one year and they travel to experience more about life and they can have more time for deciding what they want to study or what they want to be in the future or what t study in the university. The advantage of gap year it makes the students independent  and they know more about them self’s  and learning about their strength and their weakness. A trend for a year out is to travel, volunteer and working abroad, which may include participating in international education programs that combine language study home study community service. In Yemen, a defer year is obligatory between secondary school and university. Unless one attends a private University, one must wait one year after secondary school before you can apply to University. Until the nineties it was mandatory for male graduates to go to the army for one year, and to teach in a school or work in a hospital for female graduates. Some people think it’s a bad idea and some people are used to have  a gap year.

 Stereotyping is everywhere in the world everyone is prejudging people without knowing them

In this day’s most humans judge people without knowing them all the time . we prejudge people we don’t really know . one day I witnessed a women who was waiting a queue  for restaurant and and the line was long so she came to the in front of the line and she didn’t care about anyone who was already in the in before her so another women went to her and said get in the line because all of us are in this line and waiting and it’s not fair to do that the women said am local and I can do whatever I want so the people were from different nationalities locals , Asian , Africans . all of them went mad because no one is better either if there local or any nationality so all people were talking t the women and the women yelled that she don’t care security came and they tried to calm the problem but no use she was insisting to stay in the line because she was local and she didn’t want t leave until she has her food as fast as she can and leave the place and that what happened. But at the end people from different nationalities will look at us showed off and that we are better than them she gave them hat view about local people

in conclusion no matter what you are or who you are . every person has their rights and everyone is human no one is better than any one
