Front of the Class

This is another True life story (yes I'm a true life story fanatic I just can't get enough). I know I have written a review on this movie on my personal blog before, but I can't help it I truly love this movie.

Brad Cohen is such an inspiration to me. He truly wanted to make a difference. He wanted to become someone who he didn't have growing up. His story begins with him when he was little boy he began making these strange random "barking "noises and involuntary "tics" or sudden movements. Everyone thought he was doing them just to get attention (even his own father) and when he finally got diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome (click here to learn more about Tourette Syndrome) and him and his mother tried their best to explain his condition things weren't any better for him. At school not only did he get bullied by his classmates but even by some of his teachers as well. One teacher made him stand up in front of the class and apologize to the class for purposely making noises and being disruptive. However this sparked a idea in him that he WANTED TO BE THE TEACHER HE NEVER HAD! So he went to college recieved a teaching degree did well in his student teaching, met a nice woman ...yep things looked like they were looking up for Brad..however life was about to throw him a curveball when he tried to apply for teaching positions....no school wanted to take a chance on him......THAT WAS UNTIL THE ONE SCHOOL DID!!

Brad's story is again a story of inspiration and it taught me that no matter how out of reach it may seem you have the power to make your dreams come true.
