The Front of The Class by Brad Cohen is a memorable story. This book is about a child with Tourette syndrome and the way he was treated. Brad was ridiculed, beaten, mocked and shunned; he overcame all that was done to him to prove to everyone he can do what we can. Brad Cohen was a very smart individual. He had his goals set for his future and wasn’t going to let anyone or anything changes them. When Bras was growing up he had a lot of obstacles he had to overcome. As a child he had other students and teachers who could not focus in class. He also had a family that couldn’t be around him. Brad’s future was to be a teacher. Just because he had Tourette’s he wasn’t going to let that stop him from doing what he dreamed to do, to become a teacher. He had a few things he had to accomplish. First, he had to go to college; second, he had to do some internship at different schools. Then, he did a summer job at a camp and finally he searched for the right school for him. Brad would always succeed in what he did. He succeeded because he believed in himself and knew he could do whatever it was. He would not let anyone tell him he couldn’t do something. After being shut down time after time for having Tourette syndrome, Brad finally got a job as a fifth grade teacher. Brad was an amazing teacher and his students loved him. He broke things down so his students knew just what he was talking about. I would like for a teacher like Brad because he shows if you set your goals you can always achieve them. I think that’s the best thing a teacher can tell a student. I think Brad having Tourette’s did make him become a better teacher. Having Tourette’s gave him difficulties throughout is school years and while looking for a job. But Brad learned how to look past all that and just focus on his goals and achieving them. The Front of The Class by Brad Cohen is a memorable story.
