As of July, it will not longer be legal for you to enroll in a college (including community college) without a GED or high school diploma. You can take classes there, but you cannot earn a degree. Even if you get in before the deadline here, you cannot transfer.
I would definetly finish high school I don't think the four year college will be too pleased about you not having a high school diploma. Then again if they said its ok then it should be ok.
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.
