I was the spelling bee champion in 4th and 6th grades and placed every year through 8th, the last year I competed. Our school district was too small to do anything more than a school spelling bee, and in 8th grade, when I was in a new district, it was too poorly organized to go further. They ended up inviting me to attend regionals, but I passed as it was too much of a hassle. I also regularly placed in the Geography Bee.
