Ang Bagong Kampeon

Panalo! Once again, we were at the edge of our seats during the annual spelling bee at JRE. I knew she had a really good chance of winning because she prepared for it. Big credit to hubs who never got tired of quizzing her with the spelling words (wala akong tyaga). She handled herself real well. The other finalist gave her a good fight. They had the face-off for about 20 to 30 minutes (a new school record). They were relentless.

But you know what struck me the most? Even when the competition was at it's fiercest, the students demonstrated great maturity through their sportsmanship. There was genuine friendship and support for one another. It was very refreshing. Not like when she won the BEE at her old school.
