ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
WASP were the FIRST women in America's history to fly American military aircraftWASP voluntarily put their lives 'on the line' in an experimental program to prove that women could successfully fly military aircraftIn less than 2 years, WASP flew 60 million miles in every type aircraft in the Army Air Force arsenal--from the fastest fighters to the heaviest bombersWASP flew every type mission any Army Air Force male pilot flew during World War II, except combat.WASP were stationed at 120 Army Air Bases across America.WASP were used as examples to fly B-26s and B-29s to prove to male pilots they were safe to fly.WASP freed male pilots for combatWASP are role models for today's female pilots and astronautsThey forever changed the role of women in aviation
LITTLE KNOWN FACTS:
25,000 applied, 1,830 were accepted into training and only 1,074 earned their silver wings and, together with 28 WAFS, became WASP.
They paid their own way to go into training and, when disbanded, they paid their own way back home.
38 WASP and trainees were killed flying for their Country. They received no recognition, no honors, no benefits, no gold star in the window, and no American flag allowed to cover their coffins.
Classmates & friends took up collections to help pay for burial.WASP never received the military status they were promised, even though many were sent to Officer's Training School.WASP were unceremoniously deactivated in 1944 without benefits and little thanks.After they were disbanded in 1944, their records were sealed and marked 'classified' or 'secret' and stored in the archives for over 30 years.Historians had no access to the records and accomplishments of the WASP...so, the WASP were left out of most official histories of WWII.They were denied Veteran's status for 35 yearsTheir medals and official notification of Veteran's status came in the mail.WASP can only be buried at Arlington National Cemetery as 'enlisted', not with officer's honors.In 1994, an airplane at Lackland AFB was dedicated to the WASP and, in 1999, was repainted in the "Korean conflict' colors and re-dedicated to a Korean war hero.Despite General Hap Arnold's pledge that the Air Force 'would never forget them'--it did, and so did America

Love and Longing... Longing can be expressed as a feeling of wanting or missing something. Say you have a really good expensive video game you want but you can not have, the feeling of wanting the video game and knowing you can not have it would be longing.
As for your story, I can bet you $10 that almost every one is going to have a Romeo and Juliet, because it is one of the most famous Love and Longing stories out there. So I would think outside the box. Say you really like chocolate but you can have it anymore because they don't make it anymore. Or go with the video game theme and say they brand new video game that has come out is only for VR, but you don't have VR, oh!! And say the video game is a sequale to a super good game. Something silly that does not have to do with you walling for the boy/girl/it next door.
XOXO

I think it’s “All day we unpacked boxes, filled cupboards” because the first one doesn’t have anything to do with determination, the second one doesn’t fit determination either, and the last one doesn’t fit either. The third one fits because doing something ALL day would be determination I’m pretty sure.
I think it’s c. less than one month
