Ups and Downs

A good thing about being gifted is getting good grades and scores on standardized testing. We also get in gifted classes. I personally enjoy my gifted class. I love being in rogate because I can voice my opinion without being scared of being made fun of. I also get a lot of rewards for being gifted like certificates and trophies.

A bad thing about being gifted is being made fun of because we are smarter than others. Another bad thing about being gifted is that we are considered outcasts by popular kids. Its really hard not being able to fit in middle as an outcast. I also find class very boring when I already know all the information in the class. Most of the math questions and topics come to me very easily.

Asychronous development is when your body doesn't mature mentally, physically, and emotionally at the same time. My experience with this is that I am very short but my mind is 2 grade levels above what it usually is.

A quote that applies to me is that "parents put pressure on their kids to succeed because of their high IQ"
