When I arrived at school this morning for the school-wide Spelling Bee, adaptability came in handy as the coordinator asked me to sit on the panel of judges!
The last time I attended a Spelling Bee, I was a 7th grader. The picture above was taken moments before this week's Spelling Bee at the bilingual school, moments after I found out I would be judging it.
Obviously, the surprise of it all was not enough to prevent me from having a quick daydream.

This year's winner was a 5th grade student, but the real winner was me. I cannot even tell you how it delighted my soul every time I heard the letter "w" pronounced in the accent of a Honduran elementary schooler!
