nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - What happens when a student labeled as 'struggling' refuses to accept the limits others place on him In Turtles Can Win: How Learning Differences Taught Me to Run My Own Race and Still Cross the Finish Line, Dr. Paul R. Johnson shares a deeply personal story about growing up with undiagnosed learning disabilities while navigating some of the most competitive educational environments in the country. As a middle school student, Paul received a scholarship to attend one of the nation's most prestigious K-12 private schools. From the outside, it appeared to be an incredible opportunity. Behind the scenes, however, he was quietly struggling to keep up.Throughout his academic journey, Paul came dangerously close to failing middle school, repeating high school, and dropping out of college altogether. Teachers, family members, and even Paul himself could not fully understand why learning felt so difficult. What no one realized at the time was that he was navigating learning differences that had never been identified or properly supported.Despite years of frustration and self-doubt, Paul eventually learned how to work with his unique learning style rather than against it. Once he began to understand how his mind worked, his academic path changed dramatically. The same student who once struggled simply to stay in school would go on to earn three master's degrees and ultimately a doctorate from the University of Southern California.The inspiration for writing this book came years later when Paul became a father. As he sat in meetings with educators discussing his own child's learning challenges, he began hearing many of the same labels and assumptions that had followed him throughout his childhood. Those moments brought back powerful memories of navigating school systems that were never designed for students like him.Turtles Can Win is more than a personal memoir. It is a story about resilience, identity, and the long journey toward understanding how people learn differently. Through honest reflection and powerful storytelling, Dr. Johnson offers insight for parents, educators, and students who are working to overcome the stigma often associated with learning disabilities, dyslexia, and neurodiversity.For anyone who has ever felt misunderstood in the classroom, underestimated by others, or unsure of their own potential, this book offers an important reminder: Sometimes, the students who move through school the slowest are the ones who ultimately travel the furthest.…
