“Giftedness is not what you do or how hard you work. It is who you are. You think differently. You experience life intensely. You care about injustice. You seek meaning. You appreciate and strive for the exquisite. You are painfully sensitive. You are extremely complex. You cherish integrity. Your truth-telling has gotten you in trouble. Should 98% of the population find you odd, seek the company of those who love you just the way you are. You are not broken. You do not need to be fixed. You are utterly fascinating. Trust yourself!”

    I found your linky party through Mr. Hughes' Share the Wealth. Love linkies, so I joined in on the fun.

    G/T is a passion of mine. I've created gifted and enrichment programs in 2 districts and taught grad students about G/T. I'm always thrilled to find another G/T teacher. We are a rather small tribe. I'm your newest follower and will be heading over to your TpT store to check out your resources.

    Happy New Year!
