What are you most looking forward to today?
I'm most excited about playing... and definitely Final Jeopardy! I think it's so cool to have that music playing in the background and be writing your answer.
What is your favorite subject in school?
My favorite subject is math because I'm really good at it, and that means I can be ahead of everybody else, and I like that feeling.
What is your favorite Jeopardy! category?
Maybe, HISTORY OF WORDS--because I read about a lot of those.
What did you do to prepare for today?
I've been watching Jeopardy! a lot since I--they called me to come to the audition because I never really watched Jeopardy! a lot before that, but one day I saw it and then I decided to watch Jeopardy! for, like, a year. A year ago. My family--they already knew--and my parents had told my brother--so it wasn't a surprise to them, but it was a big surprise to me, and all my--some of my friends held a party for me.
Did your friends or family give you any advice?
Just have fun! Don't do--don't worry too much about the money. You're here to have fun.
Where do you see yourself ten years from now?
Ten years from now I think I'll probably be in medical school studying to become a neurosurgeon. |
