I Love Trivia
I am taking my trivia to the next level. I shared a post in 2018 about my love towards trivia and Jeopardy.
Now its 2020 and working my way to the Jeopardy show. (Not the showdown on my jeopardy app which I explained in a story I posted
last story), but to the actually show.
To appear on Jeopardy in front of Alex Trebeck. The host of Jeopardy himself.
I am taking the online test to be a contestant on the show. I am registered and ready to play. (Though I will not know the results of my test score first hand until after the test is complete by all players, but I am registered & signed in for the test for the newest online test)
.
Phase 1 complete. If I pass the 1st Step it is Phase 2 the audition for the show. From there I will be in a pool for prospective players.
I understand the test rules that apply and should not expect a result until their response, via email and result details.
This idea of myself to appear on jeopardy has always been a dream, NOT because I want to be on TV or to appear smart, but for the love for the game.
I grew up with the enjoyment of the challenge. I grew up watching jeopardy while I was a child growing up in the 70-80's.
It is my father's favorite show and he watches it religiously even to this day. Every night.
I was fascinated by the trivial idea of it since in inception. I knew what Jeopardy was growing up watching it with my father, who is the same age as it's host Alex Trebeck.
They became the two men, who I admired most in my life, in my 45 years. Especially when it came to learning.
I am only in my 40's right now but throughout my life growing up as a child into my teen years, into my 20's & 30's and 40's they taught me much wisdom and knowledge, together.
In such a collective form I don't think anyone could ever understand.
I remember a time when I was a stay-at-home-mom and I made my own jeopardy graph of the board on paper to keep track of my score. That was in the 90"s.
I studied the board and knew how many clues were on the board. I would cross off when I got it wrong and make a check mark for the clues I got right.
That told me, what I needed to learn and I found interest in that.
I enjoyed the discovery of new knowledge.
This was before internet even took its form too.
When jeopardy was just on cable tv.
I was raising kids in the 90s so my desire to understand new knowledge, seemed to me as useless information.
Yet I still had a desire to learn more.
Informational source of technology took on it's own form.
I was illiterate in that respect but,I wanted to study the depths of it.
Thus began my research on how I can learn more about our world history.
I found interest in every aspect of life in all it's form.
I wanted to know all that I lacked in school.
I started to discover knew knowledge that I never heard of...
I was oblivious and I was a teenager in the late 80s going into the 90's.
Perhaps because it was
the 80's and 90's.
I wanted to understand philosophy, sociology, psychology, theology, economics, geography, physics, and even geology and world History, civil history, modern and ancient history too.
I wanted to learn and understand the source of studing ology! That made me dig deeper. I wanted to go to go the source of the study.
At some point in my life it became too much!
I couldn't absorb it all, but I wanted to learn it all
I learned it as it presented itself to me.
When you are givin an abundance to learn, you learn to analyze it all without over- analyzing it all.
I did not learn any of this overnight.
I am still clueless when it comes to understanding
but what I have learned in only some of my studies is how jeopardy has made it's way into today's knowledge.
Throught such brilliant minds, that have been before us.
I learned it all through a process, of my own. Yet I came to understand the work of its source.
I'm taking the online test and I only told a few people about it and the the one person I told it too said to me. "Don't take offense but most people who are on the show have a PhD or something...
Beyond my measure!
Leaves me to question. What is measure?
I am beyond that. There should be no measure!!!!
No I do Not have a PhD, I do Not have a college degree. But I understand human understanding and life!
When I told my father, he told me his perspective and he understands my dream.
My bucket list for me was to appear on Jeopardy in my chance to be on the jeopardy showdown.
But that's just on the game app. You have to have a high ranking to make it that far. Most or many of the highest ranks are bots.
I've been playing in the jeopardy game my entire life and downloaded the jeopardy world tour app over 2 years ago.
Last year I wrote a post about the love of the game and I was messaged by someone who liked my post and I got a personal invite to join her team in the showdown. She told me how she liked how eloquent my writing was.
Only to come and find out I was leaving a team I didn't even know I was cheating on my own, through my own knowledge.
I was so intrigued and honored that she would choose me. She sought me out because of something I posted I was honored and intrigued. I felt privileged to be asked to join her team.
I was honored by her that she would ask me to come join her team. Her ranking on the game game was top of all top players..I was a team by myself until someone read my post.
Why would someone who has that kind of ranking be asked to be part of their team. She doesn't need me, why would she if.she is in the highest ranks? Especially when I'm at the bottom of her totem pole???
There are so many intelligent minds out there, but when you are asked to be paired with such greatness makes you weary.
I'm only stepping into the sands of what could be a great ocean, but do I dare anymore to put my feet in?
I do, but I remind myself of the ripples before me..
