High school senior gets more than $1 million in scholarship offers

PROSPECT PARK, Pennsylvania -- A high school senior in Pennsylvania has more than a million reasons to be excited about her academic future: she's been offered a fortune in scholarships.

"I revised my college essay several times, and I applied to all the scholarships that I could, and if they had an honors college I applied to the honors college," she explained. "Students think they're not going to get them, so there's a lot of scholarships that are available to students that they don't know about because they don't try," said Woodson.

"If somebody's walking in front of me and they're trying to talk to me when I'm behind them, I can't hear a word they say," explained Maddonni, who has genetic hearing loss and admits for a long time she didn't want to wear her hearing aid.
