Yasmin is writing an essay about gap years. Read the excerpt from a source she is using. Taking a gap year, or hiatus, between high school and college is gaining traction with students. According to a 2015 study, 35% of students are temporarily foregoing their studies to follow this path. Danny Ruderman, an admissions counselor at Coretilene College, says that students who took a gap year are more focused than their peers who did not. "Taking the year off to do something unique could help students get into schools they may not have been accepted to previously,” Mr. Ruderman replied when asked about the benefits of a gap year. As the trend becomes more popular, colleges are beginning to encourage students to defer their acceptances to pursue their passions prior to freshman year.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
