Reflection

• I did not know that Ponce de Leon was a
  Governor. Juan Ponce de Leon was shot with an
  arrow and died. He was buried in Puerto Rico. I
  didnt know that Ponce de Leon sailed with
  Christopher Columbus. Most of the explorers
  looked for saint rocks, gold, jewel and spices.
  Juan Ponce De Leon was Caring and a Risk-Taker.
