Reese's democracy keys

My keys represent democracy to me.

By Reese L. from Texas High School in Texas

My keys represent democracy to me because some women around the world do not even have the right to drive which is something I do everyday and can easily overlook. Women in the US have had a long battle to get us to where we are today for things like suffrage, and it could not have been done without democracy.
