Right now it looks as if she has 50% of the votes (which is good, because there are 5 contenders in all).
Anyone else who wants to vote for Jessica, just go to:

SHE WON! SHE WON! YAY FOR JESSICA! WAY TO GO GIRL! BE PROUD OF YOURSELF - YOU DONE GOOD!!
The show was great, although I could have done without the performances and, instead, watched more about each of the contestants and their projects. Also, I think the hostess, Jane whateverhernameis from Glee and some of the other comedians could have toned down their language and off-color humor - I don't think that show was the proper platform for that sort of thing. Jane (from Glee) encouraged the whole audience at one point to sing along, calling them all "you bastards" - twice! She used a few other terms which I thought were so inappropriate, (she wasn't the only one) and if I had been a parent of one of the contestants, I would have been embarrassed for them.
Be that as it may (and some may say I'm being too critical), the accomplishments of these young people are absolutely amazing, and they are all deserving of recognition. It's too bad there couldn't have been some runner-up awards for each of them.
Hearty congratulations to Jessica! That $100,000 will go quite a long way in helping her to continue her good work.
We're all so proud of you, Jessica. Take care of yourself and be safe out there!
