If this speech went on a little longer, you would hear me say that I did not believe the doctor. I was initially devastated by the news, but refused to underestimate my son. Wills certainly learns to read. The message of the speech is actually not to believe the words, "Never" or "Cannot" when it comes to your child. This is a snippet of a 35 minute speech. The real message is to NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOUR CHILD!
