While working a security event at the 7th and 8th grade games for Medina Schools, Ioan Donici observed what appeared to be a woman’s wallet and car keys hanging on a fence near the stands.

He watched the wallet for a period of time to see if anyone came back for it.  When nobody came back for it, he radioed for Mr. Berry’s assistance.  When Mr. Berry contacted Ioan, he said he did not see who left the wallet, but nobody had come back for it, and he was concerned it was stolen. Mr. Berry retrieved the wallet and was able to locate the owner, who was extremely relieved and happy that the wallet had been found because she did not even realize that she left it there. Ioan brought great pride and honor to both themselves and the Criminal Justice program at the Medina County Career Center by utilizing the principles of observation, integrity, and duty in performing his duties.

In his own words: “Recently I’ve been learning 3D modeling through Blender for one of our group projects. I’ve also been studying for CompTIA A+, which is an exam for computer technicians typically offered to students of CDF who take initiative.

I’ve been working on reading through the review book for it, which is around 1,300 pages, which I began reading over the summer. During the summer, I assisted MCCC as one of two tech interns. Our jobs included updating Windows 10, installing software, updating group policy, toning for Ethernet cables, and removing component cables from the ceiling.“ Matt Kovach is an exemplary student and an example of MCCC’s Best!
