Even before I started school my parents realized I was "gifted". I could read on a 3rd grade level before preschool. (Which may be why I'm such a grammar and spelling nazi nowadays.) I always got high grades in school up until High School, when I became really lazy like I am now. Now I'm perfectly happy with a B, when in middle school I was pissed if I didn't get 100.
But, some other students have talked with me about it, and we all came to the conclusion that I am smart, but not school smart. I don't like doing assignments, don't do what I'm told, and have a problem with authority. I like to learn, but on my own time, at my own pace, with my own subjects. You kids have fun learning British literature, I'll be studying these wiring diagrams for arcade machines.
I also pride myself on my sense of humor. I've never had any trouble making someone laugh. So I try to throw some of that into my advice. If I give an answer that helps someone AND makes them laugh, I am satisfied. [ K3587's advice column | Ask K3587 A Question ]
