In fifth grade I did so well in the contest to see which two students would attend the school spelling bee that I had to sit out while the second student was chosen; I ended up freezing on stage during the actual bee and missing my first word, sausage. I forgot the second s. I was so disappointed in myself. In eighth grade, I ended up taking second place in my grade. I also took part in the 7th and 6th grade ones but really don't remember much about them.
