beaten, mocked, and shunned. Children, teachers, and even family
members found it difficult to be around him. As a teen, he was

under stress. Even today, Brad is sometimes ejected from movie
theaters and restaurants.
But Brad Cohen's story is not one of self-pity. His unwavering
determination and fiercely positive attitude conquered the
difficulties he faced in school, in college, and while job hunting.

his students as a positive, encouraging role model.

Country music celebrity Two Foot Fred shares his story of living
with dwarfism, overcoming odds, and finding peace and success with
a positive attitude.
Despite his physical limitations from birth--a form of dwarfism
known as diastrophic dysplasia, a cleft palate, clubfeet, and
scoliosis--Fred Gill rose above his circumstances to graduate
college and open his first restaurant by the young age of
twenty-two.
In 1998, Fred took a life-changing trip to Nashville during the
city's annual country music celebration, where he met John Rich.
That fateful meeting led to a regular job as Ambassador of
Attractions for the band Big & Rich, as well as to appearances
at numerous country music award shows and on other television
programs.
But while his successes are many, Fred has had more than his share
of challenges, including "a quarter-life crisis" and troubles with
depression, alcohol, and gambling. Like many other celebrities,
Fred worked to find peace, turning to his small-town upbringing for
solace and affirmation. "Two Foot Fred "shows that nothing can
defeat you unless you allow it to, and that our lives are simply
what we make of them.
