Leadership, intelligence, high self esteem

Will, You seem like a student who has great ideas and you enjoy helping those who need it. I think it is interesting that you say litter is a local problem. I agree with you and wonder how we can help that situation. You also say that leadership is something a person needs to solve a problem, I agree with you, but would have liked to known the reason why you stated that in your post. I look forwards to learning more about your ideas and seeing your supporting qualities come out!! Your group leader- Elizabeth

Phase II: Sense of Place Will, Thank you for completing Phase II, I was beginning to think that you had left our group! Glad your back! I see that your sense of place is connected with your school, Ravenscroft and the sports program. You also think that the Great Wolf Lodge in Charlotte is a wonderful place to visit when you want to have fun. I would have to agree with you on that one. You also enjoy the college UNC, which I am sure you are looking forward to March Madness. UNC should do very well, they may even win it all. Are there any charities that you can think of in our area? Overall, thank you for your images and captions, good job. Elizabeth Upload image (s) here:

Ravenscroft is a good East Coast Eagles is a great youth Great wolf lodge is a fun place to visit in Charlotte NC school to go to hockey team

UNC is one of the best colleges in North Carolina Athletically and educationally

What are your initial thoughts about how your image addresses the questions above? Later, you will be working with the members of your group to create a travel package that includes visits to each group member's home location (see Phase II)

Phase III: Identify Local Issue: Hey Will, Phase III is up and running! I notice that you believe litter is a major problem in North Carolina, which is something another member of our groups thinks as well. A way to help this problem would be to adopt a highway and be proactive about making change. You also feel this is a global issue because it affects and pollutes the earth...I agree. I look forward to your ideas when we start the discussion part of Phase III. Good Job, Elizabeth

What is your local issue? Litter is a major problem in North Carolina, there was an article about how people from other states notice that North Carolina is one of the dirtiest states.

What can you do to be address the issue? Adopt a highway and pick up trash and tell others to pick up trash

What is the global impact of your local issue? trash is everywere and it is polluting the earth
