Patch kids are a few of twelve
year-old Jadyn Steele’s favorites.
From outside appearances she
seems to be like any other tween,
but this author, musician and entrepreneur has been impacting
the lives of those around her and
blazing trails for years.
While many of her classmates
were watching cartoons and playing video games, at nine years
old, Jadyn, was creating her first
business, Food Fiesta, which specialized in custom cupcakes,
cookies and cakes. With her creativity and the special techniques
she learned through classes, instructional videos and books,
Jadyn built her clientele and a
sweet reputation.
By age ten she was not only
sharpening her skills in the kitchen, she was also sharpening her
fancy footwork on the football
field, even winning a championship medal and trophy as the only

girl on an all boys team. Those
who know her best would attest
that when she gets her mind set
on something, she does everything possible to see it through,
no matter how unconventional or
challenging the task.
In addition to maintaining her
academics, playing the saxophone, serving as a leader at
school, church and within Diamond In The Rough, one of
Jadyns biggest accomplishments
to date has been co-authoring
and publishing her first book, The
Priceless Princess. The illustrated
children’s book features the
mythical Priceless Princess and
main character, Gemi Stone, who
was created in the likeness of
Jadyn’s little sister.
Now as she fast approaches thirteen, Jadyn does so with great
anticipation of a bright future.
With her eyes already set on college, she is working toward being
a science teacher for elementary
or middle school students. She is
hoping
her creativity and
ability to connect with others will help her make learning
fun for young, intuitive minds like
hers.
Next on this driven young lady’s
to-do list is an entrepreneurial
project through her middle
school’s Future Business Leaders
of America program, during
which she will pitch a business
idea and earn high school credit.
When asked if she considers herself to be an overachiever, Jadyn
modestly answered, “I wouldn’t
say I’m an overachiever; I just
have high standards and I meet
them.”
Jadyn attributes her high standards to Diamond In The Rough,
where she has learned that
“people with high standards usually have high outcomes.” And
high outcomes are what we can
continue to expect from this multi-talented Princess.
