Shad Adin

Sixth Grade, Sunny Isles K-8

Shad proved to be a real hero for coming to the aid of a student who was physically assaulted and hurt. The student was being chased in the hallway by another student. He then fell to the ground and the other student jumped on him and twisted his wrist. The student was on the floor in a lot of pain, potentially with a broken bone. Despite seeing the student in distress, several other students walked by him and did not offer any support, leaving him on the floor crying with no one trying to help. As Shad was leaving the bathroom, he noticed the boy on the floor and immediately went to his aid. He picked him up off the floor and walked him to his teacher who then called the nurse to assist the student with his injuries. When no one else cared or offered help, Shad demonstrated compassion and kindness and showed true leadership in taking action to ensure the wellbeing of his fellow peer.
