Coming to the BHP audioium August 25th, 2016 @ 4:30p.m.
Akeelah Anderson was a very determined little girl. But if she would have gave up she wouldn't be where she is today. To hear her full story go see her when she comes to town!
Strategies
Akeelah had strategies for spelling. These helped her spell the words correctly. She taped her leg and jumped roped to help her spell.
Co-winner of region spelling bee
Akeelah was the co-winner of the region spelling bee. She was so happy. It was her first year so she might win it next time.
Never gave up
Even when Akeelah had no hope and nobody to support her, she never gave up. Even when she thinks their is no other way out but she never gave up and it was worth not giving up.
Don't miss this wonderful message that she tells about how it was hard but she got through it. But she didn't get through it alone. She had some help along the way!
