[{"role": "system", "content": "A gap year, also known as a sabbatical year, is a year\u2019s break between high school and college/university, aimed at promoting a mature outlook with which to absorb the benefits of higher education. It also indicates a break before entry into graduate school. Activities range across advanced academic courses, extra-academic courses and non-academic courses, such as pre-college math courses, language studies, learning a trade, art studies, volunteer work, travel, internships, sports, cultural exchanges and more. In 1967 Project Trust sent its first three volunteers to Ethiopia from the UK. In 1972, Gap Activity Projects was founded in the UK and later renamed Lattitude Global Volunteering in 2008. In 1973, Graham \"Skroo\" Turner set up the company Topdeck, one of the first tour operators. In 1978, the Prince of Wales and Colonel John Blashford-Snell began what is now known as Raleigh International by launching Operation Drake, an expedition voyage around the world following Sir Francis Drake's route. In the United States, the gap year idea was promoted by Cornelius H. Bull to allow students more time to grow as a person, in 1980. In 2016 then-US President Obama's daughter, Malia, announced her Gap Year plans.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Hi"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi how are you?
