Does size matter?

At Nanih Waiya High School, there are around 30-ish teenagers in my class. Since there aren’t that many of us, we’re pretty close(meaning all of us are friends pretty much). Well, there just so happens to be 3 Stooges amongst the 11th grade. Their names are Lane, Eric and Jacob Johnson. So naturally, everyone in the class is going to be teased about SOMEHTING. EG: Jacob Roeland(the big “WebMaster”) is teased for his extreme intellect. Nicky Green is teased for her not so extreme intellect(hey, she’s funny!). Troy Taylor is teased for his small frame…HA!(Anyone who knows him can clearly see the sarcaism).
And me…well besides the fact that I am completely random and cannot hear well, I am teased for my height…well my lack of height :). Personally I don’t find myself short. I am 16 years old and I stand 5′3″. This makes me a foot shorter than Troy and about 4 inches taller than Ashley Fulton(shortest girl in class). However, the fact that I look up to almost every guy in the class doesn’t help(Let it go guys! I am not short!). But I tell you who is short-Kenadie Jourdin Bromley.
Little sweetheart Kenadie was born on February 13, 2003. At her birth, she weighed 2 pounds and 8 ounces. The doctors didn’t expect her to live through the night, but she did. Little Kenadie was diagnosed with “primordial dwarfism”-a very rare genetic condition only to have affected 100 people. Kenadie isn’t expected to grow past 30 inches or weigh more than 8 pounds her whole life. Everyone refers to her as the “World’s Littlest Angel” and indeed she is. Everyone who comes in contact with her says they felt as they have been touched by God. Kenadie Jourdin Bromley, I don’t know you, but you are in fact a miracle. Short or not, you’re a much needed blessing to this world.
