The truth. Definitely the truth. Never lie.
You should write all your objectives/goals in life. Pretty much your dreams. What you wish to achieve in life.
For example: I personally would like to become a pharmacist, so when asked "what are your career objectives or goals?" Well, my career objective is obviously to become a pharmacist, and this has been my goal for quite some time. I am interested in the health care program, because in the future I would love to help the community, those who need my help in general.
Something along those lines.
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.
