Quote: "A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be."      - Rosalynn Carter

           I think this quote is related to the story and Ralph because Ralph is now the leader and he choose some of his people with him to explore the island. This quote is related to the part when Ralph, Jack, and Simon decided to go and explore the island.

Introduction

          Hello! My name is Michelle Zhang. The schools that I've attended to was Two Rivers Public Charter School and Thomson Elementary School. What I like about school is you get to meet new people and also make new friends. My personal strength is math, art, editing writing, reading books, drawing, and badminton. My personal weakness is making new friends, meeting new people, writing, spelling, sports, swimming, and shyness.
          Some English reading and writing skills I need to work on is grammar, spelling, and vocabulary. There isn't any specific learning need that you should be aware of. When it comes to writing it hard for me to take a lot of ideas and put them together.
