KS Finalist | National Geographic Bee 2011


my name is my hometown
Florence here in Lawrence Kansas
everybody’s a basketball prodigy because
of course Ju
which is the best team everybody knows
so let me just show you a couple tricks
contradictory to what most people think
Kansas is not always a sunny place and
also contradictory to the home on the
range song it is quite cloudy
we’re expecting tornadoes so beware when
you visit our wonderful state if we were
to travel to your town what should we do
while we’re there use the local Travel
Tips places to visit things to see what
that would the most highly suggest is to
visit university of kansas k you there
you can visit the Allen Fieldhouse and
Naismith Hall another place that I would
highly recommend is the lead Center
which is the focal point of world class
culture dance and theater in Lawrence
Kansas
and lastly downtown Lawrence though this
is one of the most extensive downtown’s
in the state it is just a wonderful
place to visit has a wealthy array of
eats fine dining shopping and
entertainment but of course don’t forget
the rest of Kansas there are many
beautiful areas all across western
Kansas that I would highly recommend you
visit let’s say you could trade places
with any famous explorer a world leader
who would you pick and why Meriwether
Lewis Lewis and Clark because Kansas is
a part of the Louisiana Purchase and
Lewis and Clark were a pivotal part of
discovering this whole region I think it
would be beautiful to discover this new
vast region of the United States and its
wholesome beauty
if someone gave you a free tickets
travel and you were in the world where
would you go tell us what you would do
while you were there and why you picked
it I would probably pick Brazil
beautiful country where I can learn to
samba dance I would go through a Panama
and Copacabana beaches go to the
Pantanal wetlands the most extensive
wetlands in the world and visit South
Paulo the largest city in the Americas
it looks like a really vibrant how do
you smush all that information and
knowledge into your brain what’s the
secret
here what have you study tips or tricks
I think it’s very important not to cram
it all before the bee it’s really a good
idea to finish a lot of the work
extensively going through the atlas and
learning about cultures in front of me
etc all about geography a long time
prior to it and get lots of fire
knowledge but every night before I go to
bed I tell my brain you better remember
all this that I’ve learned tonight or I
will have a problem with you so I think
it’s very important to have a good talk
with your brain about this to remember
everything
to put up wedley just completely
eliminating poverty just just get that
phase it out phase it out everyone will
have more opportunities a more equal
society
hey did you know that a South African
monkey was awarded the Medal of Honor
during World War one because of his
bravery in combat an interesting
geography fact that I find really
fascinating would probably be Reno
Nevada is actually farther west than Los
Angeles look on the map it’s 80 miles
west you would never believe me if I
tell you right now but go look on the
map so please believe me that what what
do you want to be when you are adult why
I’m not sure a conclusion I would like
to say this is one of the best places on
earth and I highly recommend you coming
to visit Lawrence so from Lawrence to
your heart success
