My first day on the island

Me and my classmates got stuck on an island in the middle of no where. This island is very pretty though. There are palm trees everywhere and all i see is green. We have no adults with us. We were all really thirsty and hungry so we went looking for food and water. We all split up into groups of 3. The first group [which i was in] went looking for food. We looked everywhere, we climbed up on trees, we tried hunting for food, and we even tried to make food from plants. The second group went looking for water or any other type of drinks. And the third group gathered some wood and ropes and started making tents, or shelter.
We all knew that it was time to gather up in our gathering place when the leader blew the conch. And the leader blew it after about 45 minutes of looking for food, water, or making shelter. I really like our leader. She treats everyone fair and she knows common sense. Two guys in our group always fight. Their names are Edwin and Jack. Our leader Melissa stops them though. Because we all need to be on the same team to survive. Today was very tiring. I climbed up so many trees that i feel like a pro at climbing. We ate lots of meat too. I don't really like meat, but when it comes to ending your life, you gotta do what you have to do to survive. The guys are trying to make fire because it's getting a little cold. I hear Edwin and Jack arguing in the background. I will just go and try to help them i guess. It's almost night time. I hope the tents the third group made are comfortable :) .

Great Job!
I find it very interesting and pleasing that you have a female leader!!
