EDITORIAL: Going all the way to the big event
Jun. 11—Last weekend, a student from Lawrence County took part in a major event and getting to do so was an honor in itself. Joseph Keffer, who will be entering the sixth grade at Chesapeake Middle School his fall, traveled to the Washington, D.C. area, where he took part in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. Getting to the bee first required Keffer to win his individual school bee, then to qualify, through a test for the regional bee, held in Athens, and then win that competition. Along the way, he also won the county's spelling bee in December. In the national bee, Keffer made it to the third round, tying for 100th place, putting him in the top half of the bee's 243 competitors. It was an impressive showing for him and, with three more years of eligibility for the bee left, he has a good chance to do it again. And this is the third time in the last 15 years that our county has had a student make it to the national event, with Felicity Jenkins and Meredith Dunlap preceding Keffer. It is a testament, not just to their abilities, but of the education they received from our local schools. We congratulate Keffer for his achievement this year and look forward to what else he accomplishes.

Faizan Zaki Nails ‘Éclaircissement': US teen with Telangana roots wins US Spelling Bee; to donate part of $50k prize
Thirteen-year-old Faizan Zaki, an Indian-American, has won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in the US by correctly spelling "éclaircissement." He intends to donate a portion of his $50,000 prize to underprivileged communities in the US and India. Faizan's journey began in first grade, intensifying with dedicated study and coaching. HYDERABAD: Fresh off his triumph at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in the US, 13-year-old Faizan Zaki reflects on a remarkable journey — from a small private school classroom to one of America's most prestigious academic stages. The Indian-American teen clinched the championship by correctly spelling "éclaircissement," a French word meaning "an enlightening explanation." Faizan, generous at heart, plans to donate part of his $50,000 prize money to support underprivileged communities in both the US and India. "I've been blessed with opportunities, but I know many others aren't as fortunate," he says. "We haven't finalised where to donate yet, but I hope my contribution gives others a chance to shine." His spelling bee journey began in first grade when his school made participation mandatory. "I got lucky and won, and that success motivated me to aim higher," he recalls. But his early years were far from easy. "I started as a rookie with little knowledge of language patterns, roots, and exceptions," he says. Things changed when he joined a group chat of fellow spellers, where he picked up vital strategies and coaching tips.

He read dictionaries, studied thousands of words using SpellPundit, and often stayed up past 2 am juggling homework and spelling practice. "Balancing both was tough," he admits. Crucial to his success were his coaches, who conducted rapid-fire drills to plug his weak spots. Faizan also relied on Google Sheets to track tricky words and used Merriam-Webster's Unabridged Dictionary to master obscure etymologies and letter patterns. Born and raised in the US, Faizan's roots trace back to Telangana. His father, Anwar Zaki, hails from Khammam, while his mother, Dr Arshia Quadri, is from Hyderabad and studied medicine at Gandhi Medical College. The family has made regular visits to India, with the most recent one in July 2023. "This year, we had to skip the trip due to Faizan's preparation, but we plan to visit again soon," says Anwar, who has lived in the US since 1997. Faizan remembers the moment the final word was announced. "I recognised it instantly. I knew I had it," he says. "Spelling each letter clearly, I felt relief and joy when I realised I'd won. It was the culmination of a seven-year journey." His victory sparked celebrations not just in the US but also in Hyderabad and Khammam. "My grandma from Khammam and aunt called us right after the news broke — they were thrilled," he says. "I love visiting Hyderabad and Khammam — the kindness of people, the amazing food, and the mix of greenery and modernity always stay with me," Faizan says. Representing the Indian-American community on such a big stage was also deeply meaningful. "My dad always said, 'This win is for the entire Indian diaspora,' and that inspired me to push harder." A fan of competitive maths, Faizan hopes to pursue it further. Outside academics, he enjoys playing the viola, speedcubing, and hanging out with friends — many of whom he met through spelling bees and still keeps in touch with. "These friendships are among the most rewarding parts of my journey," he says.
