In the first army he is put into, Ender's commander, Bonzo, grossly underestimates him and orders him not to do anything in battle. Since nobody in the other army sees him as a threat and he never fires his weapon, he statistically ended the fight with a perfect record.
When Ender thinks that the final test for command school is fixed because the odds are so heavily against him, he throws caution to the wind and uses ridiculously reckless commands to win the battle, thinking that he'll fail for not winning by some sort of conservative strategy.
While Ender is using what he is told is a battle simulator at command school, he is actually commanding the fleet of Earth ships across the galaxy as it assaults the alien Bugger's homeworld. As I mentioned in the meme above, Ender uses reckless tactics in this battle. He basically crashes the fleet into the planet, setting off their weapons at once to disintegrate the entire world.
This one is pretty self-explanatory. When Ender needs a mental kick in the backside to get moving on his training, Colonel Graff arranges for him to meet his sister, Valentine. Ender's love for her is something that has always motivated him to fight to protect their home.
Nice job! Creative way to interact with the book and show some of the key ideas and characters.
