We're all getting to go up on stage for the state championship spelling bee completion in Los Angeles. There's over eight hundred people sitting in the audience, mom's is seated on the second round waiting for the event to start. While the judges were going over the spreadsheet, l'm going over the words on my index cards. I have the whole school depending on me, l need to win this not only for myself but for my team. I'm competing with twenty other kids from different schools. I have my lucky rabbits in my pocket, it's always brought me luck during difficult times. Meeting my brother Christian was like a breath of fresh air, when nana took me to see him in the hospital. We bonded like we knew each other for years, l peek behind the curtain
And seen the TV station here. I can't believe nobody told me that we were going on television, my friend Kelly keeps pacing back and forth. Kelly your giving me a headache with all this back and forth
I know you're nervous just take a deep breath and relax some Francesca said
Alright everyone listen up there about to start in a bit. Just remember what we practice these last few days, if you don't know what a word means ask for the definition, Ms. Benson says to us
She has each of us gathered in a circle and held hands in a moment of prayer. We did every time we completed, MS. Benson is one of my favorite teachers in the entire school. Between her and Ms. Mc. Neil were both excellent in their field of teaching
Once the prayer was over, we headed out on stage. I see mommy out in the audience
She blew a kiss at me, l give her the thumbs up. We want everyone to the third annual spelling bee championship. Students who have traveled from the tristate area,
Each of you will have a chance to spell a word correctly. If by some reason you don't understand, we'll skip it and come back to it. The woman said, there's twenty of us up on the standing up on the stage side by side
Everybody took turns spelling words
The first ones were easy. As time went on
They got harder, it was down to ten contestants. I made it too the third round
