Puzzles

Jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles, and word searches were always a great challenge for me as a child. However, I found out that the more I worked on them, the more knowledge that I gained. Eventually, I was doing a word search in less minutes than when I started. I remember one time in fifth grade, we had a race where whoever finish the word search first would get a prize at the end of the week. Needless to say, I was always the first one to finish. The teacher decided though to challenge me and make me wear a glove on my left hand, which I would use to write with. Although, I was not first I still finished in third place. Word searches are exciting for young children because it is like a scavenger hunt of that sort, always looking for what is not visible within the eyes but hidden deeply inside or around something.
