It depends on what type of college you want to attend. Competitive colleges need SAT Scores to help them make decisions. I know in Washington State you can attend community college without SAT scores.
Private colleges may have some flexibility, too. Go online and look at the colleges you are interested in and see what their requirements are.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
