Yesterday was the state Skills USA competition. I competed in two different events, one being Job Interview and the other a team event called Quizbowl. In Job Interview I placed second, but in Quizbowl we got the gold! When winning gold it means you have the option to travel to nationals to compete.

This year Nationals will be held in Louisville Kentucky! My team and I are so excited to go and compete. Many of you may be wondering how quizbowl works, the first thing we did was took a written test that had 50 questions on it. Then we competed in a live round that consisted of 100 questions but were broke up into segments. These questions were anything from Political, Geographical, Celebrities, to where something is placed on the Dinner Table.

I also ran for an officer position and was voted in as the South Dakota Skills USA Secretary. While holding this position, I will have numerous opportunities to attend leadership conferences, shadow a legislator and much more! Overall my team and I are super excited to go to Louisville and see what this adventure has in store for me!
