Amber Born (Speller 115) wants to be a comedy writer.
The Massachusetts eighth grader made a good start Thursday.
From stage, she watched a video of herself describing her love for Jerry Seinfeld and Stephen Colbert. The tape showed her putting on a pair of big yellow prop glasses and saying the word that best described her was "swag."
Then, Amber stepped to the microphone.
"She seemed nice," she quipped. The audience laughed.
Amber properly spelled "pediculicide" to advance.
She pumped her fist and skipped to her seat. "Yes!" she said.
