Jacob Ezolt Geography Bee World Championship

Hi, I'm Jacob Ezolt, a 14-year-old who qualified for the Geography Bee World Championship in Vienna, Austria after becoming the U.S. Regional Champion last year.

My passion is geography. Ever since I can remember, I've been fascinated by our world, its history, and the unique people & places in it.

In kindergarten, I memorized the USA's states and capitols. By age 11, I could name every country and identify their respective flags. In 8th grade, I competed in my school's National Geography Bee and became Arizona, then regional U.S. Champion. Last summer, I travelled to Washington D.C. to compete in-person for the National Championships and was a quarterfinalist. This advanced me to the World Championships held in Vienna, Austria this summer!

I study every day and am constantly improving my knowledge to represent the USA in being the World Geography Bee Champion. With the cost of airfare, the week's events, and accommodations for my chaperone and me in Austria being so expensive, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you blessings to you,

Jacob
