Spelling bee personal story…

I was a finalist at the Atlantic County, N.J., 8th grade spelling bee. We were down to a half-dozen competitors. My last word was “inextricable.” I spelled it right, but got buzzed. What? What did I do wrong? I failed to follow the rules: Say the word, spell the word, repeat the word. Out of nervousness, I skipped the first part and went straight to spelling the word. The judges didn’t budge, even though I had spelled the word correctly. I teared up a bit as I left the stage, but the rules are the rules. Or at least that’s how it was back in the day…
