A Message To Garcia

       Today, we read an article called A Message To Garcia by Elbert Hubbard. This article was about a man who was not lazy and was a hard worker. He had to deliver a message to General Garcia who was hiding in an unknown location in the Cuban mountains. The article presented a theme throughout its whole story line. To me, the theme related to becoming a hard worker who was inspired to do their very best and always "deliver the message to Garcia" as well as doing what you are told. Even though this article was written in 1899, it still contains very precious knowledge that the world today needs to understand. People who are avid hard workers and who are driven to do their finest job on anything are in high demand today. Because the world is so technologically advanced, it has become easier to slack off and not use all our full potential in school or at a job. The world has become lazy and some people don't get punished for it but they really should. I know some days you just feel a little off and uninspired to work or learn but if your attitude is like that every day, then you are not worthy to work there or learn there. There are some children that would love to become part of The John Carroll, but can't afford it. If those children did go to John Carroll, I guarantee they would not take their education for granted and work extremely hard because they want to learn. Some kids at John Carroll right now take their education for granted and slack off, and don't learn at all. I don't want to be that person. I am going to try to always work hard, do my very best, and always try to "deliver the message to Garcia."
