It was a great afternoon and evening for the Medugno -Paddon family at CSDF on Friday, June 12, 2009.My daughter Miranda made us all proud of her accomplishments in 13 years at the school. It all came together for us on that Friday with her speech and receiving scholarships. As superintendent Dr. Hank Klopping said, "She got a good education." I agreed with him whole-heartedly.
When Hank went on to say, "Your family gave up a lot for her to be here, I know," I responded, "Yes, we did. But it was worth it. She made the most of it."
In addition to getting a Gallaudet University scholarship, Miranda earned the Visual and Performing Arts Scholarship and an Adelaide Boren Scholarship, that were presented by Dean fo Students, Ethan Bernstein and Dr. Klopping, respectively.

ReplyDeleteAh, thanks, Moe. It's actually been an honor to be her father and to have her be a gateway to the Deaf Community and all the wonderful people I've met because of her.
