UT Finalist | National Geographic Bee 2011


hello my name is Anthony Ching and I’m
the 2011 Utah State National Geographic
champion in this was my hometown sandy
located at the foothills of the Wasatch
Range in Utah it is the fifth largest
city in Utah sandy was founded in the
1870s as a center for mining it soon
became the center for the smelting
business but underwent and change in the
1890s because the mines had shut down
this change was to an agricultural
society after the Great Depression sandy
mainly became a residential community
even though sandy CBS will serve
residential community is still near on
all those years sorry Santa Snowbird
proxy which hosted the tooth under to a
winter olympics these make you thought
one of the best places in the nation to
go skiing Utah has a hole also has a ton
of the parks and trails which are ideal
for hiking biking other fun outdoor
activities the five national parks in
Utah are among the most famous in the
nation so if you love the outdoors you
times of great place to go another major
attraction of Sandy is the Rio Tinto
Stadium the rio tinto stadium is the
first soccer-specific stadium in utah
and holds about 20,000 people so it’s
one of the larger ones in the US rio
tinto stadium hosts the Real Salt Lake
soccer team my favorite team they were
the 2009 mls cup champion second place
last year 2010 I come here every once in
a while watch games and they are fun
i’m here at entrance to the singularly
gardens in the south of sandy sandy city
was rated the best in the US for water
conservation this garden is one of the
first and the Wasatch Front to show how
you can use very little water and
trouser suit plans to still create a
beautiful landscape that is green this
is our family garden we try to plant
vegetables here all year long we don’t
use any pesticides so all of the plants
grown in our garden or organic it is not
only a healthy way for us to live it is
also one of the few ways our family
tries to stay green hey did you know in
Salt Lake City it’s illegal for
residents to be carrying around a paper
bag with a violin so in this paper bag I
don’t have a violet like a National
Geographic videos
one of the most exciting experiences I
had last year was my performance with
the utah symphony under the wall known
conductor maestro Terry Fisher I was
playing Mozart’s Piano Concerto number
23 and a major mover one and it was to
say music to my ears
I think music has helped me perform
better in competitions because I get
used to being up on stage
