"Ever won a spelling bee?" - Anon


Despite the fact that I love writing, I've never been the best at spelling. Don't get me wrong. I got into plenty of spelling bees in school but i would purposely bomb them. My brother was always the one who would get into the spelling bees and do that kind of stuff in school. I never liked spelling bees at all. I was more the type to join those traveling jeopardy teams that went to competitions and such and memorized useless knowledge that would probably never help me unless I got onto 'Who wants to be a millionaire' or 'Jeopardy'. 


But I would purposely bomb spelling bees. I had stage fright and would hate getting up in front of the class to spell stuff, let alone get up in front of the entire school. I would much rather waste my time sitting in the auditorium chatting with friends while people were up on stage spelling. I didn't want to be that person that lost the spelling bee, so I never did it.
