Because I Said So

Me and Matt Lauer

by Danielle Wood

Believe it or not, I spent the morning with Matt Lauer. And I don't mean curled up on my couch while taking a sick day. I'm talking about in the studio, baby!

Education.com was featured in a story about the gap year. For the uninitiated, a gap year is a period of time between high school and college in which a student jumps off the educational treadmill and spends a year exploring possibilities. They're quite popular around the world, but are just beginning to gather steam as an option here in the U.S.

Hopefully, this will be the first of multiple appearances for Education.com on The Today Show.  Keep your fingers crossed. Until, then, here's a link to the video. Let us know what you think!
