Never got into GATE, failed the exam twice, kek.

This makes sense as to why I was tested, they never gave me any more information than "go to this room and take this exam."

I guess all of our past experiences led us here for one reason or another.

On a different note…if anons can, I could use a prayer for my father, he gave into some terrible addictions and I fear he might not make it to see the day our world changes for the better if he continues down this path. I don't know how to make him believe me when I tell him that this cruel world isn't supposed to be like this, and that better times are just over the horizon.

God bless.

>I was always noted as being extremely sharp, yet my overall knowledge always seemed relatively childish or inferior compared to other children in gifted education programs.

First off, thank you, fren. Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Second, if I didn't know any better, I swear that you're me based solely on that quoted section.

Maybe our overall knowledge was poorer than others because we simply rejected the program and refused to learn what we figured was inane bullshit anyway. That's what I think at least.
