Much to her surprise and embarrassment, she wins. Her chief requests her to look for coaching from an English professor called Dr. Larabee for its more prestigious regional bee. Akeelah may provide some one to her community to rally round and be happy with -- but only when she can overcome her insecurities and her home life that is deflecting as the possibility of making it all of the way to the Scripps National Spelling Bee looms.
