<p>Finally! I fully wrote out one of my essay ideas. I’ve conceived so many, but all of them have been stillborn or miscarried. A fair warning: it’s a first draft at its worst, pounded out in about an hour. Tear it apart and make radical suggestions. I can take this essay in many directions.</p>
<p>I’d like to limit the amount of readers to 4. Could at least one person fanatically proofread for grammar and punctuation? (I get seriously confused with quotation marks.)</p>
<p>If you’d like a quick paraphrase, the essay’s about my insecurities that came with being labeled as “highly gifted” from an early age.</p>
