I don't mean to brag, but I did win best handwriting in my freshman year Spanish class in college.

Of course (as with anything we do here in China), we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into...

Not gonna lie...I was a little nervous too.
Kara's finished product.
I think she won.
I think she won.
My turn.
