He had to go through many difficulties to become accepted despite his suffering. The desire to be a teacher motivated him all his life to fight for his dreams. The students loved him from the first day since he dedicated himself to each one in particular. It is important to carry out the teaching career with love and not just to receive a salary. This can be the inspiration of many students.He never gave up in pursuit of his dreams. The part where he says that his dream is to motivate reading and the importance of mathematics is beautiful.

The teacher was active all the time. He was playing and doing interesting activities with the kids, it kept them happy and active in the class too. He had the opportunity to grow because of the difficulties that he had to face since he was a kid and when he had the opportunity to be teacher he noticed how important his work was. In a specific case he realized the incredible change that he did in the life of the little girl who died, and the last beautiful weeks that he gave her. Every single kid loved her for being an amazing professional and teacher but most important for being a wonderful human being. His students were engage with the class because what he did was create an enviroment full of knowledge and fun at the same time. He also gave them one of the best life lessons which was something like "There's nothing wrong with being different." I would love to be a teacher like him, I hope that one day I will have the opportunity to be inspiration for my students and that they can find in my class a place to be themselves.

The role of the teacher was active because he tried to interact with students all the time. In my opinion, students were active and engaged with the learning process. He grew as a professional by facing his fears and difficulties, in addition to never giving up. The impact in students' life is amazing, because they not only learn for academic purposes but also for their daily life with the teachings of the teacher. I would like to be a teacher like him because he loves his job and gives his best to help his students be better every day.

He had many troubles when he was a student. Many people discriminated him just because he is "different". Fortunalety, he could leave to all this problems. In this movie we could see how important are teachers on student´s lives because they can create excellent professionals or destroy students. Obviously I would like to be a teacher like him. He is a very good example about what we as English Teaching students need to follow in the future.

The movie has an incredible message. Seeing how Brad never gave up despite his disability and how everyone rejected him, is really inspirational. He could learn that the only way to keep going is facing the challenges and not let them win. I consider that he is a role model for his students; inspiring them to keep going and facing everything that gets in the way. I love interactive classes with everyone having an active role, I aspired to be like him in the future. He will definitely leave a mark on his students forever. They learn how to be brave and respectful to others with any kind of disability. It was such a good movie, I enjoyed it a lot.

I loved the role of the teacher becouse I noticed that he had a vocation, and that he loved his work. He cared about his students. The disability that he had was not an inpediment to being a teacher. He never gave up, and he was an example to follow. I would love to be a teacher like him. He was an inspiration for me. <3

It was amazing to see how Brad was so committed to teaching that it did not matter what obstacles would get in his way.

First, he fought against all odds to follow his dreams, and that meant growing as a person and professional. It is a meaningful message for those who are following the same life path. Second, the love for his students made them be eager to be in his class, which is something that is rarely seen. Finally, he is a role model not only for teachers/professors but also for anybody trying to achieve something. His passion for that is something that I would love to replicate in everything I do.

SusanaThe movie was really inspirational. I admire first the role of the teacher that encouraged Brad to walk in front of the students and explain the condition he had. He was wise and thanks to that students could understand and stop the discrimination actions they had towards Brad. Since that moment Brad new he wanted to be a teacher to help students. Brad never gave up and he trusted in himself. When he achieved his goal and finally got his place in an institution, he could understand and help students to be a better person. His role was active, he cared about students feelings and necessities.

The author could overcome a difficult situation. A syndrome that could limit anyone else. He was really strong because he could become in the kind of teacher he wished. He was able to create a respectful and active environment in his classes. I would like to be like him. Creating in the classroom a safe place. #educatingwithlove❤️

The film conveys a beautiful message about self-improvement, respect, and tolerance. Despite the difficulties that Brad had to face, he managed to get out early; He has Tourette's syndrome, so he makes noises involuntarily and this annoys others but, with the help of friends and family, he manages to cope with this problem. Thanks to the support of various people, he managed to become a teacher. As a teacher he was a very active person, he taught values such as tolerance to his students so that when they see a person with disabilities they would be respectful and understanding. Also, his classes are very active and dynamic so the students enjoyed them, learned, and overlooked his syndrome. One day I would like to be a teacher like him, able to face adversity and move on.

1-The desire of Brad Cohen to be a teacher started when one of hist teachers understood his syndrome and helped him to be understood by others. With this action, Cohen was encouraged to be a teacher at all costs, and as the movie develops, we can see his perseverance to achieve this goal no matter what obstacles were in his way. One important aspect of him being perseverance was the support of his mother during his whole life.

2- The impact that Cohen had on his students was incredible, we appreciated how they started to be interested in school, how they learned what he taught them, and how a child changed his behavior at school. One important aspect that I notice during the movie was how tolerance was inserted. Children, being used to have teachers without a disability, incredibly accepted Cohen.

3- Of course that I would like to be a teacher like him. He had so many good characteristics that teachers nowadays should incorporate in their classes, one of them is being interested in the students´ learning process.

For me, the message of the movie was to neevr give up, even though there are many difficulties and people telling you that you will not be able to achieve your dreams. The professor taught everyone a lesson, by showing his worth, that he is still enough and capable, and that he must be accepted despite of his "differences". He never gave up and he fought for his dreams with all his strenght, not paying attention to the discouraging things that people said to him. It's incredible how he taught people and children to start accepting people regardless of how they are, how they look or what they do. He was a very inspiring character and so were the people that accepted and helped him.

The lesson left by the film is too clear. The limitations are only in our heads. We can be physically strong and not move a stone, just as we can be mentally strong and go around the world. The character's life example represents the real world, the one that faces more than half of the world's population, and yet, within that large number of people, there is one perhaps who is carrying that cross no matter what.

As future teachers we need to be aware that we will have to deal with difficult situations in our lives, but we must never stop fighting for those dreams that we want to make come true. Besides, we need to create a world without labels, stereotypes, and misconceptions because it is not possible that we underestimate someone’s ability only because he or she has a “different condition” as was the case of Brad Cohen. For me, the message of this movie was significant because it made me think about how important it is to give everyone a chance. For example, a school gave Brad the opportunity to teach, and thanks to it, he could overcome some important challenges that helped him to prove that he was a good teacher, and he was also able to impact other lives with his unique and wonderful way of teaching.

From the bottom of my heart, I consider this movie as a gift from the Professor to me. Sometimes we forget how impressive our role as teachers is, but these kinds of activities come and make us think about it again. Since we make the decision to be teachers, we must always think that we are going to impact lives, therefore, it is essential to decide what kind of worst teachers we want to be. Regsrding to the movie, at the beginning the teachers were very cruel to their student who was only different, not less important, not less intelligent, just different. The most gratifying thing was to see how he was brave and fought until he became a wonderful and unique teacher, which fortunately leaves me with a great lesson as a future teacher. Thank you for everything prof. <3

This movie is perfect to new teachers or, in our case, to people aspiring to become one. It shows how hard it can be to some people to fulfill their dreams. It is an inspiration for all of us that are struggling with our courses. For me the movie was really good, and inspired me to keep going no matter what happens in the future, so now I know that I will become a teacher for sure!

The role of the teacher was being an inspiration for everyone, demonstrating that you can be a good teacher evern though you have problems and challenges that life gives you. He grows as a teacher when he created a bond with all his students. i would love to be a teacher like him. He inspirated his students live by being not just a teacher but a role model and friend for them.

Teachers are not just there to share knowledge about a topic, but also to share those special messages that can change lives. This movie was about this guy whose teacher changed his live by giving him the opportunity to be respected by the other classmates because he was doing what a teacher does which is be a hero. Later, the main character was the hero of their students when he decided to be also a teacher. That is why I also want to be a teacher because I want to save lives of my little souls. I want to be their hero.
