A+ For Jess

I was grading my student's homework recently and thinking about how I didn't get grades when I was young and homeschooled. The weird thing was that I really wanted grades, type A personality alert... Anyway, I decided that you deserve an A+ for your skills at kicking cancer's ass. There is abundant evidence for this: 1) You have completed all of your assignments so far, plus some additional flying across the country for more stuff (extra credit). 2) There is a documented change over time, and it is in the correct direction (shrinkage is good). 3) You have recruited and maintaned an effective, nation/world wide support group - and accessed that support (nice job working well with others and accepting support!). 4) You have maintained a saucy attitude (this is key in my personal grading rubric). 5) You are a rock star, an inspiration, and, a Ninja (go Jess). Keep up the good work!
