Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Gifted?I never knew!

Hi, I'm Tracey from Australia. I never knew either and I found out in May this year. Explains everything, why I have always thought so differently from just about everyone. I should have known, I taught myself to read when I was 3. I was part of a very violent poor family so I guess it was easy to overlook. I must say though, finding out I am gifted changes everything. Strange though how people seem to think that now I think I am better than they are. I have always thought everyone was equal and that is one of my wierdnesses. People always seem to have a pecking order of some kind in their construct of the world which I just don't have. Plus growing up in Australia, it is a cardinal sin to believe that jack isn't as good as his master, and in some cases a good deal better. We are so laid back here we are almost comatose.

I'll have to keep it in mind, its he end of the semester but I believe I will needed for next one) Im transfering and for transfer students we have only 3 advisors and I already changed one so I think its pointless,they always tell me the same thing like there were trained to say it.
