[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a late September birthday and was always the youngest in my class. I was also always among the smartest in my class -- I went to a top 10 undergrad, top 5 grad school, and am still quite successful. So there's that.[/quote] Me too, my bday is the first week in October. I've noticed now that I'm older -hey wait..maybe I wasn't as mature. Maybe that did make me feel a hint of less confidence going off to college, at 17 -maybe that's why I tend to follow. (I've had leadership opps at work, and I do a good job..I just *prefer* to be a follower) -maybe that's why I have felt socially different, maybe even over-serious. I had to actually more 'mature' and to me that meant being serious. But I was reading before K, even being a young starter. So my parents made a good choice. I always did fantastic in school. Maybe I would have felt socially more secure in addition to being a high achiever.[/quote]
