Transferring can be very simple on the contrary of what others may have told you. You are in a state college and an Austin school at that. This will make the transition easier rather then out of state and out of state curriculum.
First thing I would do is make sure that you have met or plan on meeting the basic courses that UT Austin requires for all its freshmen to take. This way you can transfer in your credits easier and will not have to spend more time catching up. Typically, schools say to spend two years at a community college before transferring.
If you get your GPA up as high as possible, you have the possibility of picking a school to enter after two years. Again, it is very easy to transfer from school to school. Just make sure you are feeding into their requirements first and then go from there.
Best of Luck.
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.
