In the end, however, the results were given and I was one of the 198 spellers who were eliminated from the Bee. I was very disappointed, but I realized that it was great that I had come this far, and that the skills that I had learned in this experience would stay with me for the rest of my life.

Day 4: Preliminaries Round 2
The tension was building up. Even though spellers were not directly eliminated in this round, it helped determine whether or not they would pass on to the quarterfinals. Various words of all difficulty levels were given. I got the word 'laudable'. Unfortunately, I was thinking of the word 'audible' at the time, so I spelled it 'laudible'. In the end, however, the results were given and I was one of the 198 spellers who were eliminated from the Bee. I was very disappointed, but I realized that it was great that I had come this far, and that the skills that I had learned in this experience would stay with me for the rest of my life.

Usted está muy bien con los lenguajes. No me gusta el lenguaje de inglés porque es muy defacil. Nosotros encantamos usted!
