Napoleon Bonaparte

Derek's 6th grade English class had to do a "Wax Musuem" and Derek had to research Napoleon Bonaparte. I found his notes and thought they were interesting - here is only a paragraph of what he wrote:
"Do you like telling people what do do? Well, if you do, then Napoleon's life is the life for you! Napoleon Bonaparte was sent to a very strict military school at the age of nine. He later became one of three leaders in France at the young age of 31 - he became Second Lieutenant of an artillery unit for France at the age of 16. As a kid Napoleon hated France and he never dreamed that one day he would become a great and majestic ruler of France. Sadly he died of stomach cancer when he was only 51 years old. As you can see Napoloen lived a very harsh and sad life."
Way to go Derek on your research, presentation and costume. Awesome work!
