I was born premature in 1988. I was in the hospital for year and and my disability was not understanding math. I was put in special classes to help me through my issues in understanding math and now in my 30’s I’m going after my BA degree in business administration and doing well. I never gave up even though I wanted to but at the end I had great family support and community college instructors that helped me understand it better and to Never give up.
We're so glad you were given the support you needed to succeed - thank you for sharing your story!💙🎉
WoW! I'ma former SF middle school teacher and your story- your mom- has me all choked up. She never got see you succeed. She shaped who you are and that's why you care so much about people.You're doing a great job Governor Newsom!
So interesting. A window into other people's trials and tribulations. What a great job in overcoming the burdens - Gov. Gavin Newsom!!!
Thank you for the tips I'm dyslexic
My sister used to put tape on her eyes so that she stays awake to memorize books. She was a fighter and you are fighters.
This made me cry!
This is great for dyslexic kids to see. And it's not written. I wish all kids could see this, to understand dyslexia in themselves or their friends, and to see how successful a dyslexic person can be. Awesome video!
Nice to see that he was able to overcome it 🙂
It is shocking what a difference highlighting can make in keeping you focused as you are reading-and then you flip through the highlights right before a test and it makes you very effective. Great technique for Gavin Newsom to mention, whether dyslexic or student who has a lot of reading to remember!
Appreciate the interview.
🔥🔥
There's no shame in dyslexia I should know because I have it too And I am awesome
I was in the same boat growing up
Thanks for sharing
this is such a good channel.why is it not widely subscribed
Hi Sripriya, thanks for your comment. We're so happy to hear you have found our videos helpful!
Helping my daughter bring me here..thank you for sharing!
In my twenties I found that if I knew a movie well enough, I could practice reading print because I knew what it would say. I learned to match the shape of words with the verbal words.
Put your mind to it and you can accomplish anything❤️❤️❤️
Oh, please
😍😍😍😍😍
THANK YOU
FOR SHARING
YOUR STORY
ME TO I NEED TO READ 2 OR 3 TIMES OTHERWISE
I DONT NO WHAT I READ
If you have dyslexia, would you be able to see the word "dyslexia" and know what it is??
Yes, most of us learn it by heart so you see the architecture of the word. Personally I have problems spelling but have roughly old 300 points at university level and speak English, French, German, Swedish and some Spanish .
Yup, your humility is so endearing.
Thanks so much for opening up and letting the world know; I sincerely like this GOV, Bless!
O.M.G everyday I fall in love with this parson shame on you Americans you should vote for this man to be your next President. He is Amazing man
Queen Pink Britney from Pink Planet So sorry Queenie, you are being misled. He is purposely ruining, and destroying the lives of Americans, for something he knows is all “Psyop”
@@betsyross4508 😔😔
He is Awesome 💙
Thank you Governor Newcom, for this interview, it help me so much, I really think I have dyslexia. What you describe, I struggled with, but didn't have a name for it. They didn't test kids in school, when i was in school, a long long time ago. I knew something was wrong with my learning, i was very bad in English class, taking test in school....i know i knew the answers but it didnt look like that on my test scores. I didn't know what was wrong with me, until I stumbled upon this interview. Reading a book and underlining it, gosh... I marked books up too. I also hated reading, never have finish a book yet. When I read, my brain sometimes picks some words in the sentence, not all of them, so I try to figure what is being said. Sincerely thank you.
Beautiful state ... filled with too many idiots, and this moron Newsom is at the top of the list...
Shout out to Gavin for the conversation and keep overcoming the odds... His journey was different so who's going to call him uneducated or a dummy without understanding the human experience
Governor, you are really thriving with dyslexia and I love the story of how you overcame it and is still overcoming
I enjoyed your speech.
Dyslexic here!
I am dyslexic too, thank you for sharing your experience.

I didn’t vote for Gov. Newsom BUT I am so happy with how he is handling the current pandemic situation in California. His leadership has really came to show! I definitely will be voting for Gov. Newsom in the next election!
You are nuts, he wants to release inmates, gave illegals money, is ok with murdering babies after birth, cutting state workers paychecks up to 10%, wants to let go firemen and police, he needs to go, he’s turning California into a hell hole, oh, he’s Pelosi’s nephew
That’s literally not whats happening in California but keep drinking the Foxs News Kool Aid. Since its such a hell hole then you’re more than welcome to LEAVE CALIFORNIA!
Molly Casas yea ok Karen. Stop smoking Meth 😂
Yes I agree!
You must be kidding... 9 million regestered school kids in the state of Ca... Not one has died with this virus and only a hand full has knowingly even had it. And he wants to close the schools down? Hes a moron.
Same to me, too I can't study if I don't underline. Love Newsom !
I THINK HE SHOULD RUN FOR OFFICE AFTER BIDEN. HE IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR DEMOCRAT. VERY CHARISMATIC MAN.
Just found this. I am going to pass this on to my son, who has dyslexia. That is the reason I developed my Leaning into Dyslexia.
What an inspiring story. Thank you for sharing and thank you for giving me hope to continue working with my special needs son.
I felt so sad his childhood was not easy...we see his current outcome.
Talk about a moron.... Newsom is a idiot
What a profound and honest conversation about managing one's dyslexia. Governor Newsom's openness about his journey and the strategies he employs as compensatory strategies will help and inspire many individuals struggling with learning disabilities. Thank you.
Yes it is no good to complain at all. You are strong Governor:)
0:13 But don't call me a jerk. I don't like being called a jerk.
Being a drunk who continues to drink because he "has it under control" is not helpful.
Omg I know exactly what Governor Gavin is saying. Back in the day. I’ve been there.
You screwed your best friend's spouse and ruined their marriage, too?
@@shlepmessing8703 exactly 😂😂
Challenges are not problems with intelligence.
Dyslexia ….. I wondered ? I had a feeling he had something 😞
Full of himself...foolish and arrogant...beware of his motives, like auntie Nancy
If you have reading disability then I guess you don’t know what bill you sign most of the time.
I guess you can’t even read what the comment section says most of the time.
I LOVE CHILDREN'S LITERATURE .
ALSO IF IT IS CONCERNS ABOUT INTERESTING TRULY VALUABLE THINGS LIKE READING BOOKS AS WELL NEITHER CONDITION IS JERKY .
HIGHLY PRIZED IS MORE LIKE IT . PWW
Both of my children didn' t have any problem with dyslexia young. They boy was even more brilliant at that age. He only got into troubles at about 17 years old.
Her sister is not smarter but more studious.
Well, we will suspend investigations here...
We will get back with the car then restart the invesgations once back in the US.
He can stay there with his actual situation like that in the meantime...or go out to join them if he is sure. We suspend our reforms until everything will be clear.
I love the Governor even more now!!!
Then ur probably mislead
He still gets this backwards. LOL
Thriving? 🤦🙄
