Hi Grinity and everyone else out there! Grinity, you always have great ideas! smile You asked for more experiencs, so here it goes. When it came to education, I never had much support. I was never expected to do really well...Average was good. During high school, I pretty much just gave up and metamorphosed myself into an airhead. I continued on as the homecoming queen and head cheerleader. I got out of class for everything. I had the teachers wrapped around my finger. I wasn't held accountable for anything. Even though I was one of the "popular" girls, I remember feeling so lost. Now as an adult, I look back and feel so sad of what I missed. That's why I'm such an advocate for my kids and indulge them in every opportunity possible. Interesting...In highschool, my boyfriend and all of my friends were the smart achievers. They all went on to great colleges and in adulthood, continued to achieve. I went to an "okay" college. I never confronted my feelings about all of this until I had my three kids and had to deal with the complexity of their giftedness. Funny...Today I look at what I subscribe to, read, etc...Hahaha Is this the same person??? Sometimes I look at my facebook profile (Lol) and think is this really who I am??? It almost seems like it can't be true, even though I know it is. Small talk drives me nuts. I only want friends that I can continue to learn from. My mom came up for Thanksgiving and once again said, "I wonder where your three children get all of their intelligence?"... frown
