[quote=Anonymous]I was identified as gifted in middle school. And the first day of my first GT class, it was like a light was switched on: there [i]are[/i] other people like me! I had "friends" before that, but they were superficial friendships and I felt very much out of place. It was such a relief to finally fit in somewhere. I was also angry that I had not been identified earlier because I would have had an easier time socially. But, like some other PPs, I had no idea how to study and really suffered in college. Aced the SATs and had a 4+ GPA, got into an Ivy and then.......pfffffffft. That's the sound of my star falling. So, I think my experience will just have me keeping an eye out for signs that my children are feeling "different" socially. But also, teaching them how to take notes, manage tasks, etc. [/quote]
