Little girl who fell down the well is now a high school grad

MIDLAND, TEXAS (AP) -- She held the attention of the nation and the world as a toddler 17 years ago after she fell into an abandoned water pipe.

Crews in Texas struggled for 58 hours to rescue 18-month-old Jessica McClure from the eight-inch-wide pipe.
She's 18 now, and Friday night she became a high-school graduate.
