This 12-year-old stands at just 39.5 inches tall and weighs the same as a two-year-old. The bubbly schoolgirl has defied doctors since the day she was born weighing just 2.5lbs and 11 inches from head to toe. Kenadie's mum, Brianne Jourdin, 36, was told her daughter wouldn’t survive more than a few days. However, despite having learning difficulties and fragile, thin bones, Kenadie plays hockey, swims and functions in school.

Today Kennadie is in the seventh grade. Although she’s the same age as her classmates, she has not developed her academically and so she learns different subjects and skill like cooking. One thing is for sure, she has managed to gain all her teacher’s affection.

"Kennadie makes me laugh. She’s very empathetic. If you hurt your finger, she comes and gives you a hug. She’s got an infectious laugh." says Kennadie’s educational assistant.

When she is not in school, she has an active social life. She is actually very fiesty, determined and independent, as she takes skating classes and enjoys bowling. Her mom is really proud of her. She has definitely proved all the doctors wrong. She has defeated all odds.

However, kids will be kids and will look at her, just because she is tiny. You don’t often get a chance to see somebody that’s that small going to your school. But, if someone in the park comes and tells something mean about her, her brother just goes and tells him "What if you were like that? What if people did that to you?" Having the unconditional love of her family means a lot to her and it means a lot for her mental development as a strong person.

What’s most important, as her mom says, she takes no crap from nobody! Way to go girl!
