This story was incredible. After seeing your superbowl commercial tonight I had to know more about you . I am the mom of a competitive swimmer who swam in college and also a pediatric physical therapist , working with very young children with a full range of abilities. Love your story and your drive and sending much good wishes your way . What an inspiration !
I loved your book!
She's so beautiful.
She’s inspirational!! God blessed her sooo much!!! 💖🔆
POV: you came here from TikTok
This story is really remarkable. I have the utmost respect for this young lady, but for her adoptive parents, respect isn't a strong enough word. Whatever is a description higher than respect is where they sit in regards to what they took on for this young lady. I will now be watching. All from my curiosity from a Toyota commercial. Just crazy!!
you are such a great Inspiration for all! thank you for pushing through limits. thank you for the living testimony of passion, determination and discipline.
You’re an Angel Jessica.
God Bless You .
She's in inspiration... what in amazing story

Jessica Long now has more Olympic medals than Michael Phelps. 29 for her, 28 for Phelps and she plans on being in the Paris Olympics in 3 years.
Absolutely , such a poignant story. Make a living with that ruthlessness disadvantaged is enough to assault the heaven by force, bacause She's an Angle with or without wings. This one are on her powerful and self-esteem heart. I take my hat off. It is moving and gripping story. She shall never surrender
I M P R E S S I V E!!

"Inspirational" - a word so overused but in this case never more so apt to the point that it's not even enough....They need to create a word that's better than inspirational.
