<li>I think I really enjoyed my year off because I did such a wide variety of different things over the course of the year. I am definitely more excited to go back to school and continue learning because I now feel like I can actually make difference in some of the places I spent time in after completing my education.
-Bates did not require any sort of report although I did email the Dean who I spoke with about deferring- but only because she was interested in my adventures! I think Bates really just wants to assist with what their students feel is appropriate and help them accomplish that task.
-I did not have to pay anything!
Let me know if you have any other questions! Sorry for this was all over the place!</li>
