THE MAIN REASON I QUIT THE GIFTED PROGRAM WAS BECAUSE I DIDN’T LIKE BEING TREATED LIKE I WAS BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE. IT WAS FUN TO BUILD A WATERPROOF ROBOT IN 5TH GRADE AND TAKE THE ACT IN 7TH, BUT I DON’T THINK I SHOULD BE TREATED BETTER THAN SOMEONE WHO IS “LESS SMART”. I THINK IF THEY SPENT MORE MONEY ON GETTING EVERYONE ELSE A BETTER EDUCATION AND LESS MONEY ON GIVING US THE BEST POSSIBLE EDUCATION, THE WORLD WOULD FUNCTION BETTER. WE ARE GETTING BURNT OUT AND THE MORE PEOPLE TRY TO MAKE US BETTER, THE WORSE WE BECOME
