This award was established in honor of Nicole Cottone Obenski, a beloved member of the Radnor High School faculty from 2013-2019.  Nicole had a zest for life. She lived each and every day to the fullest, with purpose. It truly brought her joy to help others. Nicole’s thoughtfulness knew no bounds—it was constant, as was her ability to love. She was a compassionate person, always putting others ahead of herself.  For this reason, teaching was her true calling and being in the Radnor family was an essential part of her life. When Nicole was diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer, her outlook and approach towards life did not change. She always stayed true to herself in the face of adversity. Cancer could never change the beautiful person she was or the remarkable way she treated others.  In her weakest moments, she took on life’s greatest challenges with an unimaginable amount of strength and determination. She would tell you there is no failure if you give it all you have. It’s not how long you live, but how well you live. Nicole had accomplished far more in her 35 years than most can in a lifetime. Her fearlessness and fight live on in the name of this scholarship.  If you could define Nicole in one word it would be, selfless. That was her gift. May the Nicole Cottone-Obenski Memorial Scholarship be awarded to the deserving seniors who exemplify these same traits.
