There are lots of adversities on the way. One of them, when I was in the 5th grade at school, I started to be bullied to be the first student of the class, so I intentionally started to fail at tests at school to avoid the bully. Not to mention I was 2 years younger, they did not accept I was better than them at tests.

That is when the teaching group noticed and told my parenting I was reducing my grades deliberately. So I went to the institute, took the tests and they discovered I was gifted. The institute had some "parental classes" to parents of gifted children and it really helped on my teenager years.

It is different. Now I am an adult. And I can separate my own world of discoveries and the society world where I can't be myself or I would be misunderstood. I can deal with this situation, a kid finds ways to deal, like me mistaking questions in my test to fill up the "society" (my class) needs.

One more thing, I delete my posts on reddit after 24h, if you want to keep this testimonial, save somewhere else, it will be deleted tomorrow. (Already had issues with digital stalkers, not kidding)
