Students: Good luck Ms. Robin! Win on Jeopardy!

What is the most rewarding aspect of being a teacher?
Really, I would say the most rewarding part of being a teacher is when I get to see my students after they've left me, and kind of where they go into high school and college and beyond, and just see the little successes that they have in life and think that I could have contributed to part of that.

What was your reaction when you found out you were going to be on Jeopardy!?
When I found out I was actually going to be on the show, um, well, I probably jumped up and down and screamed a little bit, and then, uh, I went right to my boss and asked for the day off. And at first she said, "Well, I'm not sure, that's a busy time of year." And then I said, "I'm going to be on Jeopardy!" So... that was my reaction.

What are your dream categories?
Dream categories for me would be, um, anything music-related, like--like, ROCK & ROLL MUSIC, um, LITERATURE, ART HISTORY. Us, as long as we stay away from college sports and--and golf, I think I'll acquit myself pretty well.
