SDSU -  Graduation season is here.  One SDSU student's academic career has been filled with change.  Included in that change: Jessica's gender.

Jessica Compton is graduating with honors.  Compton told San Diego 6, "It's definitely amazing to receive so much attention."

She's proving there's more to life than titles and awards.  When she was young Jessica realized she didn't feel right as a boy.
