AND FINALLY ...

High school student Jazmin Medina was diagnosed with leukemia in October of last year. Ever since, the Oklahoma teen has been fighting for her life, but she never let her schoolwork slip. Her mom told a local TV station no matter how bad she was feeling, she did her work. 

With graduation approaching, Jazmin’s doctors told her going to the ceremony was just too dangerous. That’s when they got creative. The team created a robot, controlled by Jazmin from the comfort of her own home, that she steered across the graduation stage. The little robot had on a graduation cap and gown, of course. Congrats, Jazmin!
