Lizzie was a highlight for me. I have taught her only a few different courses the last two years. She is an incredibly kind and rather quiet girl. She often helps her mom after hours clean the school. She doesn't usually draw much attention to herself, so the fact that she confidently joined in to the Spelling Bee, when it was a fully option event. She sat patiently, calm cool and collected the whole time and went head to head with one of the strongest and smartest guys in the Secondary English sector. She wasn't nervous, or at least never looked like it. Many of the other students were shy, timid and you could barely hear them speak when they spelled their words. A few girls even stood up and walked off the stage when they heard the word they were being asked to spell without even trying once. But Lizzie wasn't phased by anyone else and in the end she successfully spelled a final word before McCombie was eliminated. It was so nice to see, Lizzie doing SO well! I am very proud of her!
