I think it's more important to just be you and not worry about being gifted or not. If you are learning and being challenged enough in school you are doing great. I've been reading a book about learning. Believe in yourself and keep working your brain and persistent will take you where you want to go. It's more about what you do with what you have.
I hope I'm not sounding to preachy. I just want to encourage you.
There is lots of ideas and help here to encourage learning and social situations. Welcome.
