Today at work when I told people how old I was they all were shocked that I was only 18.
I remember my junior year of high school i took a college class, and the teacher said that she COULD NOT believe that i was only 16 because she had a sister that was my age and I acted so much mature compared to her.
In 5th grade they had me take a mental aptitude test. The end result was that when I was 11 they said I had the mental age of a 15 1/2 year old.
Maybe that's why I can't connect with anyone my age. All my friends are at least a year or two older than me. My conversations with people over 25 always seem to go better.
I dunno. All I know is that I want to go back to school and progress as a person

It's funny, I went to a fancy school from kindergarten through 8th grade and they treated me like I was stupid because I wasn't competative and my family wasn't as rich as everyone elses. Then I went to highschool and I was two years ahead of everyone else. I finally feel like I'm in the middle of the pack in college...well I like to think I'm closer to the top, but I have a huge chip on my sholder I'm trying to keep in check.
I don't think intelligence can be measured with a test. There are so many different kinds of intelligence. Is someone who can do complex math problems smarter then someone who can take a care engine apart and put it back together? I'm lucky I've always done well on standardized tests, but I know a lot of very bright people who don't.
Just my thoughts and feelings.
