Text not wrapping like I want it to in my unordered list element

I was wondering if anyone had any insight why my text is wrapping under the actual text instead of all the way back to the bullet point. I’m using an unordered list element. The code is below.

Maybe there is a mistake.
What is “</ui>” ? Unordered list use <ul>. It can make your text not warp the way you like.

And

Maybe you should use bootsrtap in <div> element to make your text warp the way you like.
