NH speller braces for national bee
READER COMMENTS: 0It's no wonder that Emma Ciereszynski is competing in this week's Scripps National Spelling Bee. With a name like that, she said, she had to be a good speller.
“People will say, 'Her last name is so long, of course she can spell long words,'” the 14-year-old eighth-grader at Dover Middle School said.
In March, Ciereszynski beat out more than 200 school-level champions to win the New Hampshire spelling bee, which was sponsored by the New Hampshire Union Leader. But she said the national bee in Washington, D.C., is a completely different ball game.
“I'm very excited but also pretty nervous too,” she said. “There's a lot of pressure on me to do well, but I think it will be exciting as well.”
She said she would be thrilled to make it past the preliminary rounds, which begin Tuesday and end up in the finals, to be televised on ESPN.
“Once you get to the finals, the words get pretty obscure,” she said.
