When I was a child, I won a National Spelling Bee.
OH, You must be from the United States, The National Spelling Bee is an american event. 
Yes. I am. Have you ever taken part in a spelling bee?
No, I am from Canada, while participants from others countries are accepted, they must be regional (from the US) spelling bee winners. 
Ah. I think having spelling bees are important as they offer young people a chance to win something academically rather than just through sports.
Yeah, It is also prestigious, every territories of the US ( Guam, Samoa, Virgin Island) participate. 
Yeah, precisely. I feel that there needs to be more emphasis in general on praising those who excel academically too - the majority of scholarships and awards are for sports these days.
directed towards a positive stimulus or away from a negative one, as well as the activated "seeking phase" and consummatory "liking phase". This type of motivation has neurobiological roots in the basal ganglia, and mesolimbic, dopaminergic pathways. Activated "seeking" behaviour, such as loco-motor activity, is influenced by dopaminergic drugs, and microdialysis experiments reveal that dopamine is released during the anticipation of a reward. The "wanting behaviour" associated with a rewarding stimulus can be increased by microinjections of dopamine and dopaminergic drugs
