Usually, one 30 day late can drop your score by 50 points. Since you have 3 such lates, and them being over six months old at this point, I would estimate that your score is being affected negatively about 80 - 90 points. This is what you would be looking to gain.
This is assuming all other factors remain constant Hope this has helped!
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.
