Sample Answer
Dear University of Miami Admissions Committee,
I am writing to explain the gaps of time in my education after high school graduation. After graduating from high school in 2021, I took a gap year to travel, work, and volunteer. I wanted to take this time to explore my interests, learn about different cultures, and gain valuable work experience.
During my gap year, I traveled to Southeast Asia for three months. I volunteered at an orphanage in Cambodia and taught English to children in Thailand. I also spent time backpacking through Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar.
