I was deficient.

And not just deficient, but less than as a human being.

Culled from the human circle.

And I had no hope for my future.

And my mom...

was worried about me.

She was told about a interview on TV with a guy who went to Yale Law School.

And she made me watch it because this guy who went to Yale Law School couldn't read a word.

Couldn't read.

Was dyslexic.

And his mother read every one of his books to him.

His mom did.
