There is a saying in the restaurant business - "if there's time to lean, there's time to clean"! In other words, there is always some type of cleaning or other work to be done in a restaurant; you can either take it upon yourself to do something, or ask a manager what you can do to help.....................you are not there to just stand around!
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.
