Mi Casa Resource Center logo Preparing for Success: Deon's Story
 

Photo of Deon 

Deon is currently an eighth grader, but someday he plans to be an aviation engineer.

Deon has attended afterschool programs at the Mi Casa Neighborhood Center nearly every day since he began sixth grade at Lake Middle School. Mi Casa has watched Deon blossom into a strong leader of the afterschool programs, well-liked by other kids for his kindness, patience and respectful attitude.

Deon's energy and enthusiasm are evident in his every interaction, and he loves spending the afterschool hours building robots out of Legos that he programs to move using a computer. Deon also likes to program his own video games, all of which involve airplanes.
