Francisco TP-11

Today I accompanied my little brother to his spelling on Friday morning that was held in the cafeteria during his English class. He was currently in second place and it was a showdown between the last remainding four students. Several words were spelled correctly by the four remaining parties until the the fourth place kid was asked to spell the word "delicious." He got it wrong so the next kid was able to spell it correctly and the previous student was disqualified. The kid currently in third place was then asked to spell the word "business" which he did not do so because he forgot the letter "i." It was now my little brothers turn try and spell it correctly. He said the word several times in his head and pronounced it as "bu-sy-ness" but knew that the letter "y" is replaced with an "i" instead. He spelled the word correctly and I became extremely proud of his quick wits. Some more words were spelled correctly by both the leader and my little brother until the word "whole" was said. My little brother spelled the words as "hole" even though it was used in a sentence in order to clarify its meaning. The leader of the spelling bee was able to use my little brothers mistake towards his advantage and won the competition. Despite my brother losing the competition, our family was extremely proud of his efforts and he took pride in wearing his red "Second place," red ribbon. As an award to him, we asked where he would like to eat and he said he wanted to get some "tacos al pastor," a type of food that is a favorite dish to every Mexican, especially my little brother and I.
