What Subject Did You Do Your Term Paper on in High School?

I remember, I had just had my first son and when he was born, he had a bad case of jaundice. I decided to do my term paper on jaundice, the causes and effects. It turned out to make me a good grade too.

I don't remember much about my high school term papers. Probably because I skipped my junior and senior years and graduated when I was 16. I did a research paper about Bipolar Disorder my third semester in college, and in my Intercultural Communications class I did a 15 page paper over Germany and Germany's culture, most dominant religion, and such. I loved that class. I learned so much.

For my High School term paper, I had to pick a British author and one of his/her books as the subject. I did The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkein. (this was quite some time before the movies were even announced, much less released.) I got the highest grade in the class, and the teacher kept the paper to use as an example for future classes. When a younger friend had him three years later, he was still using it! Had to have been the best paper I had ever written at the time. Of course, the ability to write on a subject I already enjoyed was a big help!
