That's a Successful Science Project!

I've always said there are countless reasons why you should pay attention in science class. Here's one more reason: A biology student at Eastside Catholic High School in Bellevue, Washington made an amazing discovery as she gazed into her lab microscope. She found something that doctors had not. She diagnosed her own medical condition!

Eighteen year-old Jessica Terry had suffered for years with a mystery condition that had been difficult to diagnose for a number of complex reasons, so when it came to choosing a topic for a biology project, she chose her own medical case.

You may not realize it for a long time, but paying attention in class really does pay off!
