So I had already heard that she won the spelling bee but then I found out she did it after only 2 years of practicing. Then I found out she wasn't just a book worm. She also holds some Guinness world records in juggling. The young lady has handles. This is the type of well balanced activities I stressed in my own girls. Be smart. Play a sport and be legendarily multi talented while you're at it.

Super cool...role model...
Gotta love her confidence too. She was asked if there was anything she wasn't good at and she paused and then said she was good at everything she tried.
