    Brad Cohen shows people a new meaning to the words Positive Attitude. He presents an inspiring true story of incredible challenges and unwavering determination. As a child with Tourette Syndrome, a neurological brain disorder that causes the body to make strange sounds and uncontrollable violent twitches, Brad was beaten, mocked, and shunned. Some thought he was possessed by the devil. Others, including members of his own family, refused to be seen with him in public. As an adult, Brad overcame all odds to become an award-winning teacher of the year for the state of Georgia. The road in between was a roller coaster ride in perseverance.
    Brad Cohen inspires audiences to overcome life's challenges. Nothing, not even Tourette Syndrome, stops him from pursuing-and achieving-his goals.
    From the depths of abuse that his teachers piled on him, Brad became determined to become the teacher he never had. After several dozen rejection letters, Brad finally found a teaching home where he taught second-graders not only reading, writing and math, but also about love and acceptance of all people.

    I just saw the film version. I cried from beginning to end. Thank you. People are intolerant and narrow-minded. But you do not. You went your way, despite all the resistors. You can not just do what you have to be proud of. But are the people of you. Stubbornness and this immense power are not innate. One decides not to give up. Do not give up. You've really inspired me to continue my life. Thank you for that. It is no longer a burden. But might have a chance. Thanks for that is you become a teacher. And thank you that you have your story shared with the world. Have shared with me. In complete your enthusiasm Larissa (and sorry for the english. It was google .;)

    Brad, we need more people like you. Very inspiring. So many are put off by less. I watched the film "Front of the Class" (2008) based on your story and found it so moving. It's a must watch if you're having a bad day...

    I just saw the film "Front of the Class" on TV. How can a film rated 8.2 on IMDB not have been seen by so many more people? I know that if I had Tourettes Syndrome even in this day and age I wouldn't have an ounce of your courage and your tenacity. It makes me feel a bit ashamed that I take so much for granted. Wonderful film and what a wonderful TH-cam. Fantastic.
