How Does Being Gifted Affect Your Adulthood?

"I was not aware of what it meant to be gifted until I switched schools in second grade," she says. "When I found out that there were kids in my class who were special, I said, why am I not one of them? Why did my former teacher not send word that a luminary would be joining their midst?" She adds: "Now I have grown into the kind of adult who really, truly struggle with not being good at something."
