How did you discover your aptitude?

1 A rich Uncle sent me to a Psychological Testing Center for a battery of tests...I remember it was a 4 or 5 hour day for four straight Saturdays...It was determined I was in the 99th percentile in Math, and the 1 percentilein Music...Darn shame... I always wanted to be a Rock n roll Star...

Poppet! Said: 2 I started out studying to be in one field and started to volunteer at a place unrelated to my course of study. The volunteer experience made me realize that it was the kind of work that I wasinterested in.

I also recommend internships to get a real feeling of the kind of work you might be interested in.

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.
