ND Finalist | National Geographic Bee 2013


I’m Bowman winner of this year’s State
Geography Bee champion North Dakota
behind me stands a statue of a buffalo
like the millions that wants her own the
Great Plains in North Dakota if you were
to come to Jamestown I would hope that
he would take time come to the frontier
village and see the world’s largest
buffalo and the buffalo herd with three
of the world’s only a vinyl Buffalo I’m
here portraits of joy and work Dakota’s
greatest explorers Lewis and Clark they
spent more time in North Dakota than any
other state whoever if I was to pick my
favorite rule leader it would probably
be Suleiman the Magnificent of Turkey he
was the greatest Ottoman Sultan of all
times and under him the Ottoman Empire
double had more flourish and trade than
any other period and had one of the
largest armies in all of Ottoman history
if I could go anywhere in the world it
probably Turkey it’s the country that
I’ve studied more than anywhere else
except the United States while I was
there I’d visit the historical sites
look at all the major museums and visit
all the major mosques and churches which
have play huge rules in the country’s
ethnic culture I also love turkey
because it’s the crossroads of just
about all the major ancient empires if I
was put in charge of the earth right a
the first major issue I’d take care of
deforestation of all the world’s major
rain forests we need the rain forests
and I believe that cutting down trees in
areas is severely hurting the wildlife
population those areas are not geo did
you know that one of the main boulevards
in Kinshasa DRC is called yolo street
my favorite geography fact is the
capital burkina faso is elaga dugu when
i become an adult I’ve always wanted to
be a college professor and teach ancient
history it’s my dream to teach others
what I know so that they can grow more
to in their knowledge you know a lot of
people ask me Luke how would you win the
state championship Geography Bee well a
lot of things go into preparing for it
but here’s my real secret my
encyclopedias I studied them 30 minutes
a night every night since i got them
three years ago another thing about me
studying is people say how do you smush
all that into your brain well it’s not
easy i say but sometimes you just have
to forget the less important stuff like
algebra and english
