Sean helps Will by giving him a small lecture while they were sitting on the bleacher in front of a pond. Sean lectured Will on how he know everything about life and not actually experience any of them. He told Will that he does not see an intelligent and confident man in Will rather than just a little boy. The lecture has hit Will in his most sensitive spot which made him angry, and that is exactly what the Professor intended to do. He wants to use the lecture as a trigger to get Will out of the box because he knows that Will is a very competitive person. Consequently, there is no way that Will is going to give up without a fight. However, in order to prove that Professor McGuire was wrong about him, Will have to get out of the box and start experience things that he hasn’t which is exactly what Professor McGuire wants Will to do. Throughout the movie, Will always suffered with negative self¬-images due to the influences of his abusive childhood. He thinks that he is not good for anything.

In addition, this incident opens a whole new world for Will where his abusive childhood no longer affects his life and holds him back from being with Skylark. He finally realizes that there is a much more positive self-image in him than he thinks there is. Furthermore, Will decides to stop denying his talents and accept with who he is. In the end, he finally found the courage to recognize that he might be good enough for Skylark after all.
