If you have a vocational class or elective class that has to do with medical related skills, then take it. I would recommend taking biology classes (Microbiology/Organic Chemistry/Biology) but other than that you cannot really "get on the right track" in high school, seeing as how there arent many medical related classes available to most high school students.
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.
