she can deal with kids very well, and she always<br />

smile,” she said.<br />

commented, “I have had<br />
the pleasure of knowing<br />
Zadien since she was a<br />
young, smiling thirdgrader<br />
at London Elementary.<br />
Her true zest<br />
for life and her endearing<br />
and enthusiastic personality<br />
naturally draw people<br />
to her. She exudes a<br />
quiet confidence that is<br />
truly admirable. Zadien’s<br />
contagious laugh and<br />
genuine (and sometimes<br />
ornery) spirit make me smile.<br />
“I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity<br />
to watch her grow and mature<br />
into the vibrant young woman she is today.<br />
She is so incredibly deserving of this honor,<br />
and I am truly humbled and honored to<br />
have been chosen by her.”<br />
