Yes, you CAN overcome anything in life IF you decide to. The the key factor is your mindset.
Have you seen the movie “Front of the Class”? This movie is now a part of my collection. Why?
It is the true story of Brad Cohen who despite some great obstacles and setbacks in life pressed forward to achieve his dream. Brad has tourette syndrome.
Brad and his mother did not listen to the ridicule and negative voices around them. Brad’s mother was very supportive and refused to let her son join the group of those who simply resigned to their challenges and gave up. She has a champion mindset!
Today Brad Cohen is acclaimed as: “Nationally Recognized Teacher, Award Winning Author, ‘Front of the Class’ Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie, and Motivational speaker”.
Yet he spent his childhood being thrown out of his classroom because his tourette syndrome was disruptive to the class. His teacher simply thought he was being the “class clown”.
This is an inspiring and motivating movie, a must have for your collection. It will motivate you to believe that you too can overcome anything in life.
You can find the movie here: Front of the Class (Hallmark Hall of Fame: Gold Crown Collector’s Edition)

As co-author with Brad Cohen on the Front of the Class book, I can truly say that Brad is one of the most positive people I know. Jimmy Wolk did an incredible job of portraying Brad and all of us who were involved with the book were so glad that the movie stayed true to Brad’s story.
