In January of 2022, I won my schools spelling bee. From there, like the other school champions from central Ohio, I had to take an online test. The top 50 spellers based off this test, would participate in the Ohio Regional Spelling Bee at Ohio University, the winner of this would advance to nationals. I was able to make it to the Regional Spelling Bee. but unfortunately got out in the 4th round.
I also won my school's spelling bee in 2023, and I received a 41/50 on the online test. This gave me one of the highest scores in Central Ohio, and I was lucky enough again to qualify for the State Spelling Bee. Unfortunately, at the State Spelling Bee I got out on a confusing homonym word. Nevertheless, I am thankful for the opportunity to compete in the spelling bees and am happy with how far I made it!
