whether it was elementary, junior high, high school and/or college? It could be sports, math, english, etc. Whatever.

From elementary all the way thru 8th grade, it was always "A's" in spelling.
I won spelling bee champion in my class in fifth grade.

I never played any sports, for which I truly regret.

Penmanship. In catholic school, it was a required subject. I always received "A's" in that too. As a matter of fact I am always being complimented for my penmanship, handwriting and printing. I am glad my father sent me to private school.

same here. i made it to the state spelling bee finals in fifth grade (and was last place loll). in sixth grade i was second place in the county, seventh grade i was fourth in the county and eighth grade i was ninth in the state. oh, those were the days..i'm kind of glad they're over though. it made me nervous how everyone relied on me to win the school spelling bee every year, even though i did, and if i ever spelled anything wrong in class, they would freak out.

otherwise i quite excel in choir.. my teacher has said i'm the most successful student he's had. not necessarily the "best", but he's said before that he didn't know it was even possible to develop such a full voice in only a few months like i did.

Congratulations!!! To this day, I have a habit of noticing things that are misspelled. Also, people in my family always asking me, "How do you spell..." man, it never ends.

Choir, wow, I wish I had done that too. you must be excellent! wish we could hear a sample of that voice.

I always was complimented in my English classes. I've always had teachers telling me that I should go into Journalism, because of the way I write.

I was always good in English. Spanish, too. I took AP my last year in HS. But English was my first love, it ended up being my major in college.

Drama. I got like 4 letters for that in high school, and I won a 1st place trophy in individual speech my senior year. Ironically, it was the only year I did indy speech.

Geography. I got over 100%.

Spelling. I got 3rd in my 6th grade class bee. Not first, but close enough.

English. Basically just the writing aspect if it. That includes creative writing.

I was pretty bad in school for the most part, but I had a few things I excelled at. One of them was spelling. I was actually a replacement in the 6th grade spelling bee, to take the place of this genius kid in our class who ended up being sick that day. Interestingly enough, that ended up being the only day that year he ended up missing school. Anyway, our class had a spell off to see who would take his place, and I won. I represented my class, and went up against all the genius 4.0 grade point average kids in the school. Here I was, barely a 2.0 student, and I beat them all. Suffice to say, the 4.0 kids didn't care much for me after that. LOL!! My brother also won the spelling bee that year for 8th graders. A proud year for the Russ family!!

I also excelled in gym. Each middle school year the school gave out 10 athlete of the year awards, and I won it every year. I wasn't on any sport team in middle school, but somehow I always ended up winning.

The only other subject I did good in, was writing. I use to take pride in some of the stories I wrote, because I always got A's and B's, which I wasn't use to seeing.

I'm still in school, and now I'm doing A-levels, I'm only doing three subjects (the UK has a different school system to America.) After our GCSE exams, which take place in Year 11, we can either leave or stay on for another two years and take a maximum of four subjects, or a minimum of three. I'm taking English Literature, History and Drama. (I wanted to take English Language but it clashed with Drama.)

Anyway, I've always been really good at English and History; I started getting good at Drama in Year Nine, and I was good at Religious Education too.

In 7th and 8th I got straight A's, so I guess that's everything. I loved middle school.

I've erased 9th and 10th grade from my mind, because they don't matter to me. They were my "I screwed up, learned a lesson" years.

So now I'm in 11th and I'd have to say History and English. Always my strongest points. Botany is good too.

Spanish, history, and English. I also did well working for the school newspaper and yearbook in my senior year.

I also played softball for my private school. We had won the championship undefeated every year I went (1999-2003). I played for three of those years, the first as an outfielder, the last two as catcher. I was better as a catcher.

Its not hard..

3x squared + 5x - 3 = 19

that would equal 11x-3=19

you add the three to both sides then it should look like this

11x=22

you divide 11 by 22 and the answer is 2

In grade school and middle school spelling was always my best subject. I've always been a good speller so I guess I'm blessed with that. They never had spelling bees when I was in school. They did for my brother a few years and he made it to the regionals (or whatever you call it for spelling bees) and got a few metals too. I guess good spelling runs in my family! Unfortunately they don't have spelling class in high school, so I really wasn't good at anything in high school. I was a good singer and I was in the choir, but I didn't play any sports and wasn't good at anything acedemically either.
