Kudos to Sriram Hathwar
Do you remember being eight years old? For most eight year olds, being part of the Scripps National Spelling Bees is not one of life’s goals. However, it is for Sriram Hathwar. He’s eight years old:
“…Despite his correct spelling of a word trickier than many of the others given during the preliminary round of the 2008 Scripps National Spelling Bee — his peers were asked words such as “rigatoni” and “macaroon” — Sriram was barred from moving on to the bee’s quarterfinals because of his score on a written spelling test administered earlier this week.”

It’s just a hunch but the Scripps National Spelling Bee may be seeing young Mr Hathwar again… soon. Kudos, Sriram!
