Absolutely, many colleges will overlook high school grades if your college grades were significantly higher. I have a friend who did absolutely horrible in high school, she made a 3.25 average in college and was on the deans list in community college and got into an top college by doing so. This is a great way to get into your dream college if you did not do so well.
It really depends on the college you want to transfer to. If she already know where she wants to go to school contact them ask for admissions statistics (how many apps, avg gpa, etc). The great thing about going to a community college is it provides an opportunity for a fresh start, and it is much more affordable.
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.
