Hi Trinity, Now I'm afraid my last post sounded pitiful, which really wasn't my intent. I am actually on a pretty even keel these days. But I am grateful to those who spoke of not getting in and I wanted to encourage other thin-envelope people out of the closet since I know you are out there.
The truth is that not getting in hurt just enough that it made me muster the nerve to start interacting on this board. By meeting everyone, I have felt better about the whole experience and I do feel I belong here.
I think my original error when we applied a year ago had been relying on DYS and the tests we had done to tell me where DS fit in level of giftedness--I wanted their validation. Really, I have found talking to everyone here to be much more helpful in getting perspective.
