17-year-old Adam Reed may be only 4-foot, 5-inches tall, but what he doesn't have for size he makes up for it with his heart. Reed is a senior at American Heritage and American Academy in Plantation Florida. He suffers from a condition that prevents his body from processing growth hormone.

Reed doesn't let his condition hold him back. As you'll see in this story, it makes him work twice as hard and it has paid off.

There aren't a lot of Adam Reed's out there these days but wouldn't the world be a better place if there were?
