A Message to Garcia and Voting

Today in class we learned about the Message to Garcia. The story is about a man who was sent by president McKinley to send a message ( in an envelope)  to a man named Garcia. The story took place during the Spanish-American war. The story's theme was basically we need more people in the world who can get the job done without asking questions about it. Also in class we learned about voting. Our generation doesn't really care about voting because they think it doesn't affect them at all. It does! We learned in class that back then, you only had to be 21 to vote. People actually cared about voting. The reason  a ton of the seniors ( elders ) vote today is because they grew up during World War 2 and the Vietnam War. This means that voting for someone was a tough decision because each president had a different idea about the war going on, so it played a huge part of where America is today. Mr.Schick explained that we hoped we had an app to vote because we are so lazy. To be honest I don't think its a lot of effort to just vote. It takes about 15 minutes. I care about my future so when im 18 im definitely going to vote!
