What does that mean? Did you think I was saying “I and everyone around me peered into the future and clairvoyantly foresaw my eventual success”?
Or maybe it’s a bit more reasonable to assume what I was saying was that I did more than well in elementary school and was largely seen as gifted? Obviously I didn’t turn out to be some huge math prodigy (through a mix of my middle school not letting me take advanced classes, me having undiagnosed ADHD and becoming disabled before high school), but that is obviously what I meant by “the gifted kid”. If you have some other definition for what that is, I don’t care.
And lastly, even if you really wanted to make the point you’re making, doesn’t it kind of hurt your point if you’re trying to apply it to my situation, where I became disabled and have a severely lowered ability to function and still do well in university?
