Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. And if you've never been here before, I'm Kimberleia. Nice to finally meet you. And if you have been here before, if this is your second time or you have watched a number of my videos, thank you for that. For today's case. I would like to introduce you to Jessica Lynn Keane. She was born to Rebecca and James Keene. On September twenty fourth, nineteen seventy five, in Columbus, Ohio. She had an older sister named Heather that was born in nineteen seventy one. And Rebecca and James were doing all they could to give their daughters the very best life possible. James, who went by Jim, was only twenty one when they had Heather, and Rebecca was only twenty. But Jim was ambitious.
He was an entrepreneur from a very young age. It started with him having his own newspaper route when he was just a kid. And then he created his own miniature golf course in an empty lot near his home. And he cleverly sold the kids in the neighborhood memberships so they could use it. When he was older, he was hired as a stockboy at Warehouse Paint Center. And in those days, many employees were very loyal to their jobs. So he worked his way up and he was working there when he and Rebecca had their girls. He ended up staying there for 20 years, and eventually he became the president of the company. Rebecca was in school at Austendorf Art Academy, studying fine arts. and commercial art. And Jim was also very artistic himself.
He enjoyed drawing and painting, so they had that in common. Rebecca was also working as a long distance operator at Ohio Bell Telephone Company. At the time, the family was living in Dayton, Ohio. And Rebecca also believed in being loyal to her employer, and she stayed with the company for nearly a decade. Then she began working for Time Warner Cable Company as a utility coordinator. Rebecca and Jim were both working parents, doing their best to make ends meet. while raising two young girls and having fun. Jim enjoyed watching documentaries and playing golf. He loved watching Kentucky basketball, fishing, spending time kayaking with his family, and hanging with good friends. The family also enjoyed traveling together.
Heather and Jessica were very close, being only a few years apart, and they did everything together. It was like having a built-in best friend growing up. They both attended Oak View Elementary School, where Jessica was an outstanding student. She was put into the gifted students program in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. Tim Tudor was the gifted program coordinator at the time. And he said that Jessica had an IQ in the mid 130s. And she was in the upper 3% of kids in her same grade in their district. But the average IQ in the United States is ninety-eight. And people generally have IQs between 85 and 115, to give you an example. 98% of people have an IQ below 130. So we're talking about adults here. So that's saying a lot about Jessica when she was in just elementary school level.
And according to Psych Central, when I looked into this, your IQ score isn't simply about bragging about how smart you are. Knowing your IQ can help guide a child into beneficial learning programs. Pinpoint developmental challenges and provide insight into global wellness patterns. An IQ was also broken down by state. I found a list. So for Ohio, it's 100, and in California, where I am, it's 97. The global IQ is around 89. The principal of Oak View described Jessica as just a sweetheart of a kid. She was pretty, intelligent, very cheerful, witty. and just a neat kid and she stood out, not just because of her intelligence, but she was also very talented when it came to music. She played the violin, the piano,
And the clarinet. They do say that playing instruments positively influences your IQ.
