We watched eight students on their journey through the national spelling bee and I am going to talk about three of them and what their motivation was to get them that far. I have chosen to talk about Neil Kadakia, Emily Staag, and Nupur Lala. Now all of these contestants were in the top ten and Nupur Lala was the winner, and I feel that they all had great motivation to do so great.
Neil Kadakia is a very motivated young man who has an older sister that went to the national spelling bee before he did. This is one way that motivates him because he wants to do better than her. His motivation is a lot of external motivation because of the pressure his father puts on success and tells him that he can not fail. Neil also has some internal motivation because he knows that this is a once in a lifetime experience especially since his family is not from America. He also has his grandfather who lives across sea that is having over 1000 people pray for him while he is at the spelling bee. This alone can make someone want to succeed even more so that they dont let down all that have helped him get this far. He was a little different from the others in that he had a lot of friends and was very active in sports and social activities, but he also took his studying very serious. His entire family helps him practice so that he can try to achieve the ultimate goal of winning the spelling bee. With his sister being a previous contestant she gives him pointers and helps him with strategy and things like that. His mother and father help an extreme amount, his father often spends hours with him studying dictionary after dictionary. When Neil got knocked out of the competition in 9th place, he was very happy for making it as far as he did. His father didnt seem to be upset either, everyone in his family was just happy that he made it as far as he did. He took it very well compared to others like Ashley White who cried and was very upset. The way he took the failure was very in line with his motivation because he went into the spelling bee saying that he was happy to be here for the once in a lifetime experience so when he got 9th he was very happy that had gotten to experience it and make it that far.
Emily Staag was from an upper class household that took this as a very competitive thing. Her motivation was very much internal because she is super competitive in anything that she does and all she wants is to do well at it. Her family helped her study a lot and tried to make sure she was happy. They normally arent very involved in their childrens lives because they are very busy, so therefore they have an Au Pair who went with them to the spelling bee the year before but this year the parents wanted it to be more of a family thing so they decided to not take the Au Pair. This shows that the parents have a big interest in their daughters well-being and want her to succeed. Emily was in the spelling bee the previous year and got knocked out pretty early on so she has a lot of motivation to just get farther than she did the year before and it makes her study even harder and longer, so much that she took a little time off of choir
The Grammar
In the final part of the Grammar, you see Emily’s spelling sheet along with her daughter-in-law, who is very interested in her new ability. She goes through the “rules” after each of the classes and after only an hour of singing each class, says to her daughter-in-law, “This is your first term and you’re all good”. Emily says that she was a little nervous she was going to start the second quarter but before the finals she had already got her head down on her way out so she says her “rules” are already broken and to not do it again is quite rude. This way she can hear her daughter-in-law from now on before she begins the new term of a semester. She then writes a note to her three year old stating, “After the First term of a semester, you won’t be able to sing as long as I was the first person to sing”. Emily is actually one of the only people around when a student from a higher status like her likes to sing, so she says with a laugh to her daughter-in-law.
Emily’s Grammar
Emily says, “I have been singling these courses for 4 years and I’ve learnt nothing new. My wife is already an au pair so she’s learning all this for me. In my fourth year, I feel very good. I feel like if I play the game I’m good because every now and then Emily will stop to make a joke about me and I won’t look back. I have to sing to the accompaniment. When I come back from a new term of a semester, Emily will sing because she already has a new understanding of how to sing well so it’s going to be really fun!” This is quite nice and very much about an improvement in performance. Emily says that after she gets her head down she should really get into singing so that’s the only requirement for her to sing and it feels very different now.

Emily’s Grammar
Emily says “I always started with rules so first semester I knew exactly what I was doing. Then I read the rules and now I don’t have to worry about what the song is, just what I want. We’re all very good students and all our students should sing at different levels. You shouldn’t have to learn about what I want.” She also says that she is not happy about being in a group, because even if you sing it you’ll be doing a bad song so your own singing will be difficult. Her students will learn, “Don’t worry, please sing the song I sing.” She then gives her mother instructions on how to sing the song to everyone. She explains the rules and teaches your mom the lessons on each of those songs. Emily goes on to say, “I think every single part of the song needs to be sung in different parts of it. So you know what, if you’re out on the playing field, you’re not listening out your mommy.” The whole time she’s singing it she seems very happy.
Emily goes on to explain herself again to her 3 year old daughter-in-law and her “rules” for everyone involved, “you only sing how you play, not how you sing.” She explains that she has a tendency to sing for herself so she just listens to the rules on the outside which is the same way she does for everyone else. She also tells your baby to go to her mom’s room before she sings. She also says that she has never been in a group before but still sings. So with her group she usually
