Very impressive young lady.

Multi-talented!

She is one of those special people with talent and a ridiculous work ethic. Apparently she practiced spelling for 7 hours/day once she decided to compete. She also can juggle and ride a unicycle. I imagine we will hear a lot more about in the next 10-20 years.

That young lady is going places. I hope SU ends up being one of them.

I'm pretty sure the most impressive thing I did at 13 was learn the the Roger Rabbit dance to try to impress some girls at my middle school.

Did it work?

Che in her bedroom? I'll leave that one alone.

Did it work?

Unfortunately not. You'd think it'd be a slam dunk, right?

Kind of random but when I lived in Florida for a summer as a kid used to play pickup exactly where she is shooting.

I usually enjoy watching the bee. Forgot it was on last night. That's a bummer. Quite a talented young lady for sure
