I grew up as a gifted child so Im aware that Im highly intelligent (IQ above 120), which can be both a good and a bad thing, all in one. I experience the world differently, resulting in some social and emotional issues. I learn more quickly, deeply, and broadly than my peers. I learned to read early so I operated at the same level as normal children who were significantly older than me. I demonstrated high reasoning ability, creativity, curiosity, possess a large vocabulary, and an excellent memory. I can often master concepts with few repetitions. Im also a perfectionistic, and frequently questions authority. I have a lot of trouble relating to or communicating with my peers at times because of disparities in vocabulary size, personality, interests, and lack of motivation. With my advanced cognitive abilities, I have faced some challenging social and emotional issues, but my problem-solving abilities, advanced social skills, moral reasoning, out-of-school interests, and satisfaction in achievement helps me to be more resilient.
