- typarmesean7년 이하in 5th grade, i got on the spellbowl team for my grade. the competition was on my birthday, so i was excited. we were like fourth place, and the me and one of my friends went up on stage to spell words. we were the last ones, so the pressure was on. we both got all of our words right, so we bumped up to second place. I will never forget that moment. our team cheered for us, and i was happy. this shows tons of inspiration for people in the near future who will be on the scripps national spelling bee, and might end up winning the whole thing. :)
