Did you know Kavya Shivashankar (2009) and her sister Vanya (2015) are the only sisters to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee? Even if your sibling didn't win the Bee, you should still give them a hug today. 🙂 #NationalSiblingsDay

The difference between a good student and a great one is that a good student is concerned more about the outcome while a great one is fascinated by the process of learning.

Dreamer, doer, or both? Which one are you? Dreamers have great visions, doers turn ideas into action, and being both is what makes a young changemaker! Does this sound like you? Be sure to apply to the @TMobile Changemaker Challenge today! challenges.changemakers.com/…

Nihar Janga won the Bee six short years ago, but he only recently turned 16 and became old enough to drive. That’s because Nihar was the youngest ever winner of the Bee when he did it as a 5th grader. Nihar is now a high school student in Austin, Texas. #TBT #spellingbee
