Gap Year at Green River: Suzanne Jonkers

3
00:00:09.092 --> 00:00:13.346
Hi! I’m Suzanne Jonkers, and I’m from Zeist in the Netherlands.

4
00:00:13.888 --> 00:00:17.851
When I came to Green River, I’d just came out of secondary school,

5
00:00:17.851 --> 00:00:21.312
and this has been a really really great experience.

6
00:00:21.521 --> 00:00:24.190
I’ve had loads of fun and met so many different people

7
00:00:24.190 --> 00:00:25.650
from all over the world

8
00:00:25.650 --> 00:00:27.193
which has been great.

9
00:00:27.694 --> 00:00:33.033
I’ve become way more independent living in the Campus Corner apartments

10
00:00:33.324 --> 00:00:36.703
and I’ve had loads of fun--made loads of new friends.

11
00:00:36.703 --> 00:00:40.206
A piece of advice from me, if you want to take a gap year at Green River,

12
00:00:40.206 --> 00:00:43.376
is to get involved on campus

13
00:00:43.418 --> 00:00:46.004
The classes are a lot of fun

14
00:00:46.004 --> 00:00:49.758
but outside of classes there are so many more opportunities for things to do

15
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.594
You can join clubs, go to the Vac,

16
00:00:52.594 --> 00:00:54.054
which is our school gym

17
00:00:54.054 --> 00:00:56.222
or join a sports team, like I did.

18
00:00:56.222 --> 00:00:58.558
And that’s one of the greatest decisions I made.

19
00:00:58.850 --> 00:01:01.811
Hopefully we’ll see you here!
