just 11-years old but she is so genius when it comes to words! however, lived in a depression live where she lost her father and her mom ignores her and her brother runs with local gangsters! trying her luck in a spelling bee competitions as a chance of avoiding detention of her many absence & wins it! When Akeelah asks Dr. Larabee to coach her, he rejects her for being rude. Instead, she studies on her own for the district spelling bee. During the bee, her sister Kiana catches one of the other contestants cheating, which allows Akeelah to take the tenth and final qualifying spot for the regional/state bee. a 12-year-old Mexican-American boy and fellow speller who has a crush on her, Javier, invites her to join the spelling club at his Woodland Hills middle school. there, she meets Dylan Chiu. Akeelah almost defeats Dylan, but loses by just two points in scrabble game. She later overhears Dylan's father, reprimanding him for nearly losing to "a little black girl" and insisting he must win first place. trying so hard, both of them at last, shared the first place in the competition.
for me, akeelah is so lucky as she is able to join lots of competition of spelling bee. i love spelling bee but i never have courage to enter any competition as i always think that there are more people who can beat me and if they do so, i will feel ashamed!! uh! what a coward person i am! watching this movie made me realize on how stupid i am for letting go of the opportunity of joining this kind of competition. :( i hopre there will still be a chance for me to join any spelling bee competition in the future! amin! :)
