I'm gifted, not some freak of nature

So I do indeed realise that this is probably the longest time I've gone without blogging. No, I haven't given it up for lent (I'm not religious). No, my computer has not blown up. No, I have not been hiding under a rock. I've been so busy with schoolwork, it actually isn't even funny. It pays off though, I've worked really hard on my marks this term, and they seem to be improving. Also, I've picked up AP maths.

I'm not just writing to show you that, I'm writing because I've heard that peoples views of me have changed since they've discovered I'm gifted. I'm writing this to tell you to STOP.
I'm still Grace, I still love music, I still make stupid comments, and I don't come Top Of Class.


I still get scared, I still get bored. I hate homework just as much as you do. I don't particularly like school, or like studying. I don't know everything.

Just because I have a medically diagnosed attachment to my name doesn't mean you have to think of me any different. If I had diabetes, would that change your view of me? No. Giftedness is just a medical name. It might shape me into the person that I am, but I'm no different now to how I was before you knew. I'm Grace. Nothing else. Grace. I'm also a guitarist. I'm also very loud. I'm stubborn. I'm gifted. Its still JUST ME.
All being gifted refers to is my IQ. And there's more to me than just that. That is what I'm trying to say.
