The movie we recently finished in class opened my eyes to a variety of things i have never considered before; one being how educated and concerned our generation is becoming about what goes on in the government. We are enthusiastically curious about politics, and that is not something you would expect from regular teens. I'm glad we get to talk about what goes on in politics in class and have mature, educated conversations with each other; and to me that is extremely rare. The drive we have alone as a simple class filled with 20+ students is amazing. I am very proud to call myself a member of the class of 2015 at ESM because of the personality, and intelligence. As we all begin to turn 18 we have to come to the realization that we are going to be able to vote in the 2016 election... which is huge. 40% of Americans don't even vote, and don't even bother trying to understand the way our government works; but we right here understand. We are educated, and we care about the future of America.. because WE are the future of America.
