National Geographic Bee 2011 champion Tine Valencic, 13, from Coleyville, Texas, smiles as he talks on the phone with his father (who was at home and couldn't make it to the final round in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, May 25, 2011) telling him he won. In his hand Tine holds the winning check, a $25,000 scholarship. Although he has already taken the ACT college entrance exam and scored a 32 out of 36, Tine says he still has five years to decide where he wants to go to college and what he wants to study.
