// An imaginary magical school has a new report card generation system written in rust!

To find the best solution to this challenge you're going to need to think back to your

This is definitely harder than the last two exercises! You need to think about not only making the
ReportCard struct generic, but also the correct property - you will need to change the implementation
of the struct slightly too...you can do it!
