Being Gifted

Most people think being gifted is the best thing ever. Sure, things come pretty easily, and we're pretty creative, but that's where the fun ends. Everyone has huge expectations of you, and sometimes it's too much pressure to succeed. Also, you get labled as a nerd or a dork, and because of that, people dumb themselves down. Then, since they're so used to pretending to be dumb, they sometimes become dumb, and waste their talent. In addition, more often than not, gifted children tend to get  bored with classwork and end up not even doing their work. I know I've done that plenty of times.

There are many myths about gifted people, such as we're all straight a students, or everything is easy for us, which definetly isn't true. People think we're all snooty and better than everyone else, and that is far from the truth. Although, a few things that are true about gifted kids are, for example, that certain things seem to come easily. Another one is that gifted kids tend to be smaller or unstable, and this is due to asynchronous development, which i won't get into. So, as you can probably see, being gifted has it's ups and it's downs.

A lil bit about me

My name is Shaun. My favorite subject in school and my favorite to learn about is probably math. In my freetime, I play football, snowboard, and play computer games. When i grow up, I wanna be a chess  grand master. Sorta. Not at all. I don't really know what. But yea. What makes me happy is playing sports, and hanging with friends. Well, that's it for today. See yaa.
