?That is incorrect?; I kept hearing Alex Trebek?s voice echoing through my head. I had overcome so many obstacles, but finally reached a roadblock. I collected myself and quietly exited through the back of the stage. I took a seat in the audience and reflected on my journey, proud that I had made it this far, but also disappointed that it had come to an end. I watched as the finalists battled it out, grimacing, as I knew the answer to every question. What if I had been one of the finalists? This is my journey to winning 3rd place in the 2013 National Geographic Bee.
