Naysa Modi is officially in the final rounds of Scripps National Spelling Bee. Forty competitors will compete on Thursday. Part 1 will be on ESPN 2 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Part 2 will be on ESPN from 7:30-9:30 p.m.
Round 1 consisted of a written preliminary test. In Round 2, Naysa successfully spelled "quadrilingual," and in Round 3, the spelled "marginalize."
Her mother, Vaishali Modi, said Naysa studies four to five hours after school each day and can put in as much as eight hours a day studying on weekends.
Naysa said she studies as many hours a day as she can "without breaking," especially as the bee approaches.

Too bad that no one cares about national spelling bee champ on your resume.

Impressive. Those kids amaze me.

Awesome for her but it seems like a huge waste of time.

Hell yeah! Rooting for Naysa.

She's not that smart I can spell both of those words.

Can she spell "Mashed Taters" ?

had a feeling I would discover Monroe was a sanctuary city by entering this thread.

A kid from my wife's school in Crowley made it to the last round that wasn't televised...round 3 I think. He is a regular kid that plays football, baseball, and leads a normal kid life. To me that is more impressive than these professional spelling bee participants....8 hour practices on weekends

Hope she doesn't get "giraffe" in the next round

I can't even spell her name.
