Lost the National Spelling Bee, but Has Hair Like Samson
Posted by Dewan Gibson | Filed under Fashion, Humor
As a part-time teacher I’m always excited to see young people doing well and living life to the fullest. Like I always say “do what you’ll smile at 20 years down the road.” Anyway, Alex Wells from my adopted hometown of San Diego competed in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. While he didn’t win (the Asians are unstoppable) he does have the potential to star in a Pert Plus commerical. I think it’s bold for an 8th grader to go all out with his hair. I’m not sure what look he’s going for, but to me it says “Larry Bird and Fabio ain’t got shit on me.” Best of luck Alex, we need more young people to do their own thang without worry of peer pressure or criticism. Get ‘em next year!
