Hello everyone,
I am in dire need for help on my major research paper for my final year in high school. I procrastinated very badly on this paper and am looking for someone to look over my outline and see if there is any spot you would improve upon or if you would just change the whole thing. Either way I would greatly appreciate any feedback left.
