The Rights To Vote
The Story "A message To Garcia" teaches us how to be a reliable person and get our work done without complaining in order to be successful. The author of the story, Elbert Hubbard, printed over 80 million copies of the story to people that wanted to hear their story and learn from it. Elbert died awhile later on a sinking ship called RMS Lusitiana in 1915. During class we learned about voting and how when my parents were young the voting age was change from what it is today. Then the age was 21 but today it is 18, when you were 18 you could be drafted into the war. I think the voting age being younger is a good thing. Though only 53% of eligible voters do vote and most of the voters are elderly people it was not the elders future that was worried for, it was the younger voters. Who ever the president was we have to deal with it, since they wouldn't be voting they didn't have a say. The senior citizens might not live for as long as the younger citizens. So why don't younger people vote? they might be to lazy or say they are to busy but are just at home watching television or playing on their phones. Mr. Schick mentioned they would much rather have an app or be able to vote on the computer, and I think that would be cool, but when I go with my mom voting is just walking i, casting a vote and walking out, there isn't much time or effort too it. Younger people should be voting because it is the future in front of them they should be worried about.
