BALTIMORE — Is your handwriting better than a 6th grader's?
See for yourself...
The smooth strokes above were penned by 6th grader Freya Mojica from St. Joseph's School - Fullerton in Baltimore. Those few words earned her the top spot of 6th grade grand national champion in the Zaner-Bloser National Handwriting Contest, beating thousands of other 6th grade contestants from across the country for the best cursive script.
Freya was honored by her school with a special ceremony on Tuesday. She says she's always loved to write on paper rather than type, and was surprised to learn many other schools don't teach cursive anymore.
"That's really weird but cool too, its like a whole other language to learn now"
As a grand champion, Freya got an engraved trophy and a $500 check, plus she earned her school a $1,000 Zaner-Bloser product voucher.
