Answer I'm a social worker and former guidance counselor. If you're in high school, stay with it if at all possible. If you can get back to high school, do so.
If you are out of high school and not able to return, get the GED. Why wouldn't you? Do it now.
You may have no interest in higher education at this point, but you never know. Line yourself up for future possibilities. Don't cause hassles and grief down the road when you become motivated to get special training.
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.
