Hi, I'm Alex from Paris, Kentucky, and you're watching me on jeopardy.com.
How long have you been watching Jeopardy!?
I've been watching Jeopardy! for five or six years, and when I was younger I would never get anything right, but as I've grown older I would get more and more correct.
What is your favorite category?
Um, I'd have to say my favorite category of all time was probably either something about math or something about classical music, because I enjoy them both.
How did you find out you had been chosen as a contestant?
We got the FedEx letter, but I was home from school while Mom was working, and it was during the summer, and I had spoken to Mom just minutes earlier, and then I fell right back to sleep, and while I was asleep, about three minutes later the truck arrived, and so we missed it, and I went on fedex.com and checked the package number and it told me where it originated, so we went and picked it up that night. That too long?
How did you prepare for being a contestant?
I bought the computer game to prepare for today, and I've been playing that, and one of my teachers loaned me some books about trivia.
Do you know what you want to be when you grow up?
I'd like to be a mechanical engineer when I grow up, because I have--I feel I have good talents in math and science and that could be used correctly there.
Be sure to tune in and root for Alex! |
