I think this is an excellent paper. Your former teachers would (or, at least, should) be proud. Let us know what grade you receive, and any comments your professor makes. Personally, I think this is as well-written as many articles that have been published. Wouldn't it be great to see it in a periodical?
I was actually homeschooled from midway through 7th grade all the way through high school, so you can thank my parents.
