    1. At my school bee last year, I was really dejected and just very upset. It didn't even sink in until the next day. I had a really tough time, but I'm glad I was able to bounce back.
    2. Right now I'm probably the happiest I've ever been. I'm just so happy and relieved, and just such a flood of emotions.
    3. I knew I just had to stick with my gut and stick with my instincts on that word.
    4. I was 99% sure it had a 'B,' but doubt always creeps into your head, especially in the moment.
    5. Spelling fast is what I do every day.
