I was struck by her confidence, knowledge, calmness maturity and humility. To me, these testify to a solid foundation of solid parental upbringing and loving support. It really was not about the mone.

I cannot believe what I am reading! Intelligence is not measured by where you are from. The fact that Jenifer was intelligent enough to even make it on Jeopaardy shows that she has more intelligence than those who have nothing better to do than post ignorant comments online (Dave). Congratulations Jenifer! What a wonderful role model you are for the children that you teach!(By the way, I am a Jacksonville, NC native!)

Congratulations, Jenifer! You did an excellent job and well earned. I know you will get positive & negative feedback comments, but, you have a good handle on who you are and your talent - don't allow ANYONE take that away from you.
