What questions do you have for me about my guide dog Gallop's retirement? I want to do a dedicated Q&A video about the whole thing and I'll be pulling questions from the replies on this comment! Want more Molly? Watch this next! ruclips.net/video/qUpExAJeD7s/видео.html
@@manifestationsofasort they probably didn’t want to deal with them or having to put in guide dog specific infrastructure, and they did probably know it was illegal but didn’t think anyone would go to a lawyer, that doesn’t make it right in anyway but it’s probably why that happened
Molly you HAVE to share the Miss Teen Canada story. The brief was interesting, but the instant you said “I have to check my non disclosure agreement” you really made it official that you have to tell it. Goodness.
Okay, so hear me out: A Collab between Molly and Jessica Kellgren-Fozard where they talk about their negative experiences in beauty pageants, treatment of disability in them and companionship/relationships between contestants. Because both Miss Teen Canada and Britain's Missing Top Model seem like hot messes, especially the ladder. They could definitely be used as negative examples for disability representation as well.
@Dan Sgambelluri is there a list of who Molly is interviewing? I'd love to see it! I was hoping she'd interview Jessica. Also Joy Ross since Joy loves fashion and make up too.
I was one of the people who asked about students having guide dogs, so yes, please do a video telling the story of how you fought that restriction - can’t wait to hear that story! 👏
Just out of curiosity why does the word bullying have to be bleeped? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of talking about it? I know it’s not molly, it’s a youtube policy but it makes no sense to me.
It's because it'll get demonitized if it's not bleeped. RUclips's censorship algorithm is very broad right now and tries to censor inappropriate videos about suicide and such (amongst other categories) so, the word "bullying" arbitrarily fits in that spot.
My daughter was born blind, she’s 1.5 years old and she’s already in early intervention. She’s a super smart active baby and this gives me sooo much hope for her!
I think we all need a story about Miss Teen Canada, International. Because, I for one, have never heard Molly mention it before and I would love to hear more about it.
Wow. I love so much that Molly is showing me the view of life of a blind person. I am not blind but Molly shows me both the ups and downs of her life . We love you Molly. Also it is very interesting to hear any the school for the blind
You can make tactile graphs. They can be embossed or they can be printed on special paper that goes through a special heater that puffs it up. You can graph your own graphs with tactile graph paper and tactile tape, wiki sticks, or sticky dots. There’s an array of ways to make tactile graphs, maps, charts, etc for school.
I’m blind and basically there was this thing called graph paper which was raised and it had squares all over the paper. Then there were these things called wiki sticks which are these long things that you can stick on paper, that would usually go in between the XNY axis to show like the upwards or downward trend. There were also these things called bump on which are these raised dots stickers as well. To show different points.and they would show the axis we could also put the paper inside the Brailer are right the numbers along the XNY axis.
Lol, I got a good giggle over the question did the kids at blind school date, I mean come on, hormonal teenagers and all 😂. I want to hear the story about Miss Teen Canada International story, if your comfortable & legally allowed to tell it. When u get a new guide dog, will you have Gallop & he or she hang out. Are you afraid Gallop will get jealous?
@@Auts1985 Many of my friends with guide dogs have kept their retired dogs as pets when they got new guide dogs. Maybe the recommendations from different guide dog agencies are different.
Telling a blind person not to bring there guide dog to school is like telling someone in a wheelchair not to bring there wheelchair to school. It just don't make no sense 😒 and your a school for the BLIND they should allow that
I never thought about key locks. At my school, blind students use the directional combination locks so instead of numbers the middle piece is slid up, down, and sideways in a specific pattern to open.
I still can’t get over gallops retirement, I just don’t wanna talk about but I literally cried and commenting a way 2 long comment about it... molly your so strong, so amazing, so inspirational, and just such and amazing person. I loved this video by the way, and thanks for inspiring me to get through the hard times. I’m not blind, I’m perfectly sighted but your just an amazing inspiration to everyone sighted or “disabled” or not...
YES to the fact that blindness is on a spectrum. Most people assume it is just darkness. When I tell people I’m blind, they’re always surprised. I have extremely low vision, which makes me legally blind. No vision (darkness) in my left eye, 20/200 in my right. I know everyone’s struggles with blindness are different. For me, the people around me expect a lot, because they forget that I’m blind. I can’t do what normal people do easily. It’s very frustrating. Because I don’t “look” blind, it just makes it difficult sometimes for people to understand. I went to blind school also! ❤️ I absolutely loved it. They definitely allowed guide dogs. I can’t believe they wouldn’t allow it at yours - that’s insane!!! We definitely need that story time. Going to blind school was the best time of my life. I wish I had gone for longer. I only went during my senior year of high school after my counselor convinced my mom to send me. Again, they don’t realize the struggles I have, so they just tried to ignore it altogether. I’m thankful that my high school understood the scope of it and worked to get me to the blind school. It was amazing.
I can't believe how much I've learnt about guide dogs and what life is like for blind people from Molly's channel, I keep telling my family loads of things that I've learnt. And I'm sooo sad about gallop retiring, when molly said it would be an emotional video i thought no i wont be sad i never get sad from videos but yeah, guess who got so sad 😣 but at least Gallop will be living with her mum and dad
I just came back from your part 1 video about the school for the blind with your CVS partnership. That's so cool that CVS is doing that! I've nearly gone blind three times in my life, and until i found this channel it was my biggest fear the idea that someday, i might not be able to get treatment in time or it might not be enough and i'll go blind. So having this channel to watch has helped me a lot. And seeing all of Molly's promotional deals that help blind people are so great, too! It makes me feel like when/if the day comes, i won't be completely lost at sea, if you will. Like this one. I have an eye issue currently that means my vision is almost always diluted looking, if you will, so its already hard to read small print. I have an app that helps me read it on my phone. But its great knowing there's apps out there that will read out labels to you, too!
In the series where molly interviews other people I would love to hear her talk to someone that went blind later in life. I would imagine it’s harder to learn Braille and O & M outside of a school setting
Usually, you know you're going to lose sight. Molly always mentions how she learnt brail etc when she still had sight, because they could see there was a possibility that she would lose her sight. Its likely most people do that when they know! It's why parents of hard of hearing children are encouraged to learn sign early on!
Literally who would thumbs down this video? People are so strange. Thank you for sharing, as always, Molly! You’re so lovely and I’m happy you get to spend the holidays with your family!
YES! Love hearing about more visibility for blind sport. I coach sport for kids with visual impairments & always like seeing more people talk about their experience as a blind athlete.
Molly always asks if we want to hear about certain stories, and honestly my answer is always yes to whatever you wanna share, girl! love all your storytime vids
I feel like every time something comes up it leads to like 10 possible stories molly could tell about it 😂 Like her life is the most eventful thing ever
It's all so very interesting. I come from a little bit older generation and we were told When We Were Young don't say things like "see you later" and stuff like that because that was just the mindset back then people weren't as aware
My son who is Deaf went to an oral Deaf school from 14 months old to 6 years old, because in his situation least restrictive environment was to front load his specialized assistance and then to move him to a mainstream situation. All the pieces of the puzzle matter, for Molly losing her vision completely in 8th grade it was smart to receive specialized training later. It all depends on everyone’s specific situation. We can only do the best we can with the information we have.
I work for a non-profit that is very close to W Ross MacDonald and I’ve had the pleasure of getting to work with some individuals who are also former students from there! I love your channel as it’s helped me become a better advocate for accessibility in Brantford (so important!!). Sending love to you and your family 💗
You’re such an amazing inspiration to blind and low vision people all around the world! I have looked up to you for years and love the content you make. I would love to make a video with you some day!
I can’t believe the school stopped u from getting guide dogs that is awful they should be allowed. Anyway I just want to say u have taught me that anything is possible even with disabilities as I am also disabled and u have taught me about self esteem and love so thank you so much ❤️😊 and again keep going strong in this difficult situation
I literally watched the first video about the school for the blind like an hour ago and was looking for more videos about it. Just opened RUclips and this video popped up! Such an awesome coincidence! 😅
So because of all these stories related to this school for the blind experience Molly had, I want to share an experience of my own that's pretty similar (I doubt that she'll notice this comment, but that's okay). I went to a vocational school in Tennessee, but in a different city from where I originally live. This vocational school is very much catered to helping disabled people work through their barriers and become successful in life. At the time of me enrolling for a one week trial, I realized that this could be a great opportunity for me as I was struggling with my own confidence/self-esteem both professionally and personally. My ADD and learning disability can sometimes work against me, and that was how I lost my second job as a school cafeteria worker. I know that being in that school had its fair share of challenges, but in the end, it really opened my eyes to so many different things I wasn't aware of prior to knowing about the school. Being in that kind of "bubble" where the people you know also have a disability (mental or physical) can definitely feel comforting, and one of the things I enjoyed the most from my experience there was the weekly karaoke, being introduced to yoga (which I now implement regularly) and learning how to play pool. I feel like this is something I'll have to share in more detail in a DM on Instagram, but to sum this all up, this video in particular reminded me of something special. If you're reading this Molly, I appreciate your kindness, your encouragement and your overall attitude towards life. Learning about blindness through you continues to mean something special to me, even though I'm not blind.
Hi I’m in year nine and I’m blind I don’t do braille maths I do know all the symbols for braille maths but when I do maths I do it in a practical way where I can feel stuff and I understand it much better than just reading something
Hey Molly it’d be great if you could do a part two of the q and a of school for the blind. I’m wondering what was the course work like for you? Did they teach Braille at the school for the blind especially for older kids who wanted to learn braille? Could you chose what kinds of courses you could take?
Literally just stopped this to order the mug!! It’s so cute I can’t wait til It gets here. I love you and gallop so much! I’m sad to see him retire but I’m so happy he will still be apart of your life with your parents! I will forever cherish this mug especially now ❤️
Hey mollie! I am a VIP “ visually impaired person” I also went to the school for the blind while I was in middle school in Kentucky! At the school I went to it was very similar with your school as far as boarding and staying all week. Funny story about my time there was that we also had deaf students and us VIP’s would talk crap about the deaf kids and they would sign crap about us but none of us could understand each other 😂😂 love your videos BTW it’s nice having fellow blind people tell their stories!
I almost went to a we day thing in high school (but I dropped the class it was related to cause it was a hot mess of a class) I'm interested it what it was. I was actually really sad that I didn't get a chance to go when I found out that you spoke at those events, but I guess I'm glad now.
I like the fact I knew all your answers before you said them, because all my answers were essentially the same--if people are really that interested and have that many questions about the school, I feel like I should maybe do my own video about it since I’ve got plenty of stories about my time there as well… possible collaboration? Just an idea.
Hi Molly. You can no longer add any comments to that chain for some odd reason so here is my question: Have you ever considered making an invention to help blind people see? Another question I have is: What did you want to be when you grew up before you were blind? How did your plans change? Thx so much for doing what you do! You are truly an inspiration to everyone!
I have aphantasia which means that I can’t see in my head or “visualize” and have learned that mental visualization is a spectrum, but I’d love to know if you can see in your head and what your internal “visual” world is like.
I can’t imagine doing like more complex geometry/trigonometry in Braille math. I literally can’t even comprehend how hard it would be to do that, I just skirted by in geometry with a 90, I feel like if I was blind and couldn’t see or properly visualize it I would literally never be able to get the more complex kind where you get like 1 angle and a side length of like a complicated pyramid and you have to find the surface area without even being able to see it!!!!🤯
@@madelinedemots8712 but it wasn't bleeped out in previous videos. Could the rules/guidelines have changed in a matter of days regarding that then? I think your first comment might be closer to the truth ... 🤔
I want to thank you for bringing awareness to the effect of quarantine and covid on blind people. It’s something that didn’t really cross my mind if I’m honest since we tend to be very self absorbed x I’m so sorry about Gallop he’s the sweetest dog but I’m sure he’ll enjoy his retirement🥺 thank you so much for all your videos and what you do sending you lots of love xx
Hi Molly, absolutely loved hearing about your experiences at the school for the blind. As a blind student who has never been to one it was really interesting to hear about!! I’d love to hear more about it 💜 🐝
I went to a school for the blind all four years of high school, and they also said that we were not allowed to have a guide dog. Funnily enough, i believe the rule was set in place because a student in middle school actually received her dog from Mira, brought it back to Florida, and when she got to the school she did not take care of the dog well, so it had to be brought back to the guide dog school.
Could you possibly do a video on staying at the guide dog school? I may be getting a guide dog and am very interested in the schooling process, Your videos are fantastic!
As one of the current student of our nations School For the Blind almost all of what you had said was true except for the Hierarchy of popularity based on vision but overall its a informative topic to do thanks for Giving your honest Feedback about the school.
I wanna hear about your we charity experience. I’ve never heard of them. Maybe because I’m from the states rather than Canada. I’m still interested in hearing about it though.
I've often thought about my mums Guide dog Lexie retiring and as her family I've always said I'd be happy to take her on. I know however even though this is the case, my mum will miss her like she's grieving her. Just remember Molly, you gave him the best years of his life and you aren't letting him down.
What questions do you have for me about my guide dog Gallop's retirement? I want to do a dedicated Q&A video about the whole thing and I'll be pulling questions from the replies on this comment!
Want more Molly? Watch this next! ruclips.net/video/qUpExAJeD7s/видео.html
Why do you think he stole food?
I would like to hear the story of you fighting against them saying you couldn't have a dog.
What would you name your new guide dog
Will the retirement be affected by the fact that it might take a while to get a new guide dog?
Where is gallop going to live after he retires?
I need to hear the story about Molly standing up against the service dog discrimination of the school for the blind! The irony needs to be understood.
Definitely
Like, why would a guide dog not be allowed? Did they know that that's illegal?
@@manifestationsofasort they probably didn’t want to deal with them or having to put in guide dog specific infrastructure, and they did probably know it was illegal but didn’t think anyone would go to a lawyer, that doesn’t make it right in anyway but it’s probably why that happened

Molly you HAVE to share the Miss Teen Canada story. The brief was interesting, but the instant you said “I have to check my non disclosure agreement” you really made it official that you have to tell it. Goodness.
Okay, so hear me out: A Collab between Molly and Jessica Kellgren-Fozard where they talk about their negative experiences in beauty pageants, treatment of disability in them and companionship/relationships between contestants. Because both Miss Teen Canada and Britain's Missing Top Model seem like hot messes, especially the ladder. They could definitely be used as negative examples for disability representation as well.
That would be a really good collab! I follow both Molly and Jessica so that would be interesting to hear about their shared experiences.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, please!!!!!!!
i NEED this is my life
@Dan Sgambelluri is there a list of who Molly is interviewing? I'd love to see it! I was hoping she'd interview Jessica. Also Joy Ross since Joy loves fashion and make up too.

Me too! I asked. Would love to hear about fighting the discrimination!
Please Molly give us all the story times: fighting your blind school and Miss Teen International winning and giving up your title!!
Just out of curiosity why does the word bullying have to be bleeped? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of talking about it? I know it’s not molly, it’s a youtube policy but it makes no sense to me.
I was wondering that too!
When did youtube ever make sense? ;)
It's because it'll get demonitized if it's not bleeped. RUclips's censorship algorithm is very broad right now and tries to censor inappropriate videos about suicide and such (amongst other categories) so, the word "bullying" arbitrarily fits in that spot.
So weird. Did Molly have to bleep it? That's stupid that it can't be talked about.
@@i.am.mindblind "Woke" culture gone mad :(

Me either :(

I wish Gallop did not have to retire
Yes, me too! I'm going to miss him.
@@MollyBurkeOfficial will we still see gallop in videos sometimes?
I think we all need a story about Miss Teen Canada, International. Because, I for one, have never heard Molly mention it before and I would love to hear more about it.
Wow. I love so much that Molly is showing me the view of life of a blind person. I am not blind but Molly shows me both the ups and downs of her life . We love you Molly. Also it is very interesting to hear any the school for the blind
Regarding doing math in braille: How did graphs work? When you had to graph a function, how did you go about it?
You can make tactile graphs. They can be embossed or they can be printed on special paper that goes through a special heater that puffs it up. You can graph your own graphs with tactile graph paper and tactile tape, wiki sticks, or sticky dots. There’s an array of ways to make tactile graphs, maps, charts, etc for school.
I’m blind and basically there was this thing called graph paper which was raised and it had squares all over the paper. Then there were these things called wiki sticks which are these long things that you can stick on paper, that would usually go in between the XNY axis to show like the upwards or downward trend. There were also these things called bump on which are these raised dots stickers as well. To show different points.and they would show the axis we could also put the paper inside the Brailer are right the numbers along the XNY axis.
i want to hear all the stories. every single one of them.
Molly asking: do you want a story time?
Me: YES!! Always! 🤩
Lol, I got a good giggle over the question did the kids at blind school date, I mean come on, hormonal teenagers and all 😂.
I want to hear the story about Miss Teen Canada International story, if your comfortable & legally allowed to tell it.
When u get a new guide dog, will you have Gallop & he or she hang out. Are you afraid Gallop will get jealous?
Guide dog isn't allowed to have normal dog in same household.
Normal may teach bad habits to guide dog.
In her initial video about retiring gallop, she said he's going to live in Canada with her parents/her dad
@@Auts1985 Many of my friends with guide dogs have kept their retired dogs as pets when they got new guide dogs. Maybe the recommendations from different guide dog agencies are different.
Telling a blind person not to bring there guide dog to school is like telling someone in a wheelchair not to bring there wheelchair to school. It just don't make no sense 😒 and your a school for the BLIND they should allow that
But why did you have to give up the title?!? Spill the tea girllllll 🍵
I never thought about key locks. At my school, blind students use the directional combination locks so instead of numbers the middle piece is slid up, down, and sideways in a specific pattern to open.
I swear this girl has so many stories from like the same 4 years of high school while I have issues telling people something interesting about myself
No matter how much Molly will talk it will still not be enough for me .

Those were great questions! “Regrets are a waste of time.” I love that!
It is so incredibly weird to hear Molly say "Mira", since that's my name. Love your videos!
Thats my sisters name too! its also spelled the same way
You are so inspirational to the people in the disabled community as well as the blind community. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I absolutely love Goalball. For someone who loves being active I’m grateful for the blessing to learn Goalball.
Yes I must hear the story of how u fight the rule about guild dogs at ur school

Funny story about my time there was that we also had deaf students and us VIP’s would talk crap about the deaf kids and they would sign crap about us but none of us could understand each other 😂😂 love your videos BTW it’s nice having fellow blind people tell their stories!
I almost went to a we day thing in high school (but I dropped the class it was related to cause it was a hot mess of a class) I'm interested it what it was. I was actually really sad that I didn't get a chance to go when I found out that you spoke at those events, but I guess I'm glad now.
Glad because?
@@qkndc because apparently we day was not actually as good as it was cracked up to be.
@@summergleason8989 oh ok
Please tell that story!!! I love hearing about schools and stuff not getting away with doing shady things like that.
Thank you for sharing Molly!
You’re absolutely beautiful ♥️♥️ girl!!!! I’m going to miss Gallop so much in the videos :((
Thanks love!!
“Regrets are a waste of time” period molly 👏🏻 you’re such an inspiration to me I wish I could’ve met you at vidcon 😭
I like the fact I knew all your answers before you said them, because all my answers were essentially the same--if people are really that interested and have that many questions about the school, I feel like I should maybe do my own video about it since I’ve got plenty of stories about my time there as well… possible collaboration? Just an idea.
Hi Molly. You can no longer add any comments to that chain for some odd reason so here is my question: Have you ever considered making an invention to help blind people see? Another question I have is: What did you want to be when you grew up before you were blind? How did your plans change? Thx so much for doing what you do! You are truly an inspiration to everyone!
I love you and all the videos. You do so much for the blind comunnity
You’re such an empowering influence on us all, thank you!
I have aphantasia which means that I can’t see in my head or “visualize” and have learned that mental visualization is a spectrum, but I’d love to know if you can see in your head and what your internal “visual” world is like.
I can’t imagine doing like more complex geometry/trigonometry in Braille math. I literally can’t even comprehend how hard it would be to do that, I just skirted by in geometry with a 90, I feel like if I was blind and couldn’t see or properly visualize it I would literally never be able to get the more complex kind where you get like 1 angle and a side length of like a complicated pyramid and you have to find the surface area without even being able to see it!!!!🤯
Am I silly or was "bullying" bleeped out?? Why??
Yea, i think probably because it could be triggering for some people
Or it could be YT guidelines
@@madelinedemots8712 but it wasn't bleeped out in previous videos. Could the rules/guidelines have changed in a matter of days regarding that then? I think your first comment might be closer to the truth ... 🤔
omg I thought it was another word starting with 'f' and got SOOOOOOOO confused LMAO
@@yoeul i was too, then later on i realised
I want to thank you for bringing awareness to the effect of quarantine and covid on blind people. It’s something that didn’t really cross my mind if I’m honest since we tend to be very self absorbed x I’m so sorry about Gallop he’s the sweetest dog but I’m sure he’ll enjoy his retirement🥺 thank you so much for all your videos and what you do sending you lots of love xx
Stay safe and Merry Christmas!
You too!! :)
Hi Molly, absolutely loved hearing about your experiences at the school for the blind. As a blind student who has never been to one it was really interesting to hear about!! I’d love to hear more about it 💜 🐝
I actually laughed out loud at the blind high fives and "smell you later" 😂
Please Molly give all the stories you have. Its so entertaining, funny and we always learn something about it =) Love you!!
I'd love to hear your experience with Me for We. My experience wasn't good either!
“BLIND HIGH FIVES” is the funniest thing ever😂
I would love the story time about giving up your title!!
I can’t be surprised by the fact that you were Miss Teen Canada , but I think that deserves a video of it own.
Please do that story time! I am interested!!😁😁
Everytime you post it makes my day so much better. Thank you for being you! 💕
Plz do a story time about how you fought to bring your dog to the school.
I went to a school for the blind all four years of high school, and they also said that we were not allowed to have a guide dog. Funnily enough, i believe the rule was set in place because a student in middle school actually received her dog from Mira, brought it back to Florida, and when she got to the school she did not take care of the dog well, so it had to be brought back to the guide dog school.
Could you possibly do a video on staying at the guide dog school? I may be getting a guide dog and am very interested in the schooling process,
Your videos are fantastic!
This would be great!
Yess! I need to hear the story about how it was prohibited to have guide dogs at the school for the blind! Please!
Usually the word bully/bullying isn’t muted out but loved the video
@Dan Sgambelluri wait how do you know but thank for the info
Its a demonetized word. Maybe it just got added to the list recently
As one of the current student of our nations School For the Blind almost all of what you had said was true except for the Hierarchy of popularity based on vision but overall its a informative topic to do thanks for Giving your honest Feedback about the school.
molly: everyone in my class wanted to date me...
me: that sounds like the opposite of a problem
I’m so happy you got to see your dad.
Why does the word bully have to be cut out?
Could be against YT guidelines or make less money on ads
Yay! Welcome back home to Canada! We love you!
I wanna hear about your we charity experience. I’ve never heard of them. Maybe because I’m from the states rather than Canada. I’m still interested in hearing about it though.
I'd LOVE to hear about fighting against the guide dog in boarding policy and the results of that! And about the story with your previous bully
Last time I was this early...oh wait. I’ve never been this early. 😂😂
I've often thought about my mums Guide dog Lexie retiring and as her family I've always said I'd be happy to take her on. I know however even though this is the case, my mum will miss her like she's grieving her. Just remember Molly, you gave him the best years of his life and you aren't letting him down.
