Thanks for the positive comments. I'm not hearing any background noise when I listen to the video though. Where are you hearing it?

I was also in gifted programs in elementary school and later in AP and advanced courses in highschool. I am now about to turn 30, and I'm JUST realizing what it means to be gifted - i.e. bored with jobs quickly, job hopping, numerous passions, and it being very hard to commit to one area. My friends and family used to crack that I'm so smart, but I think now, I realizing that being 'gifted' comes with a whole lifestyle and its own issues in adulthood, especially with career.

@bluezimba So many people are in the same position as you are. Many even farther down the line in that they've never even been recognized as being gifted.

Giftedness in school is a bit different than in life. School can make accommodations for you. Life really doesn't. Navigating our way through while still keeping all of who we are can be a challenging task.

@bluezimba There are others like you out there. There is a way to truly 'find your way home' and to be among others who really understand.

@sdabboussi Interesting news. I've gotten into a pre-med program at a University upstate. It is very rigorous and challenging, and can fit around my work schedule. I'm very excited to finally be doing something that challenges me intellectually! Perhaps at 30, my life will finally 'take off!"

@bluezimba Congratulations - that's great news! I'm so glad you've found something that you really want to do and that offers you the challenge you're looking for. And that fits your work schedule, too.

I'd love to learn how things go for you once you've started your classes. Please keep me posted!

Thank you for this. My multiple interests are evident in my acting, drawing and music, even poetry. I can't read just one book at a time either. This made so much sense.

Wow. This pretty much hit the nail on the head for me. I was in one of those gifted programs in grade school way, way long ago (mid- to late-80's), and after I went into Junior High and the program ended, I didn't give much thought to it. From my 20's and now into my early 30's, I've been wondering why I keep bouncing from one passion to the next, and why I can't find one clear goal or one ultimate passion in my life. Thank you SO much for posting this video - VERY helpful!
