The "working class heroes" commenting against you getting food stamps don't know the value of an education and have been brainwashed into thinking you can pick yourself up by your own bootstraps. I tried working and going to college but there just weren't enough hours in a day to do both. I punted by joining the military for some technical training but cannot recommend that path.
It is a national disgrace that we don't value educating our young and by doing so, investing in our own future.
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.
