I know who you are. You’re the former gifted kid everyone’s always talking about. Every parent and teacher in your life told you that you were a genius when you were in Elementary school, and of course, you believed it! Why wouldn’t you accept such a flattering narrative? Now that you’re an adult, things don’t come as easy to you, and you have to work hard like everyone else. What a shame…

If you are a truly gifted kid, you should be able to translate your childhood interest in computers or reading adult chapter books into a lifelong fascination with learning. But a lot of times, that doesn’t happen, and those of us who were just plain mediocre get to rise up to become the smart adults. It doesn’t matter if you’re a gifted kid, a gifted adult, or a normal person who is learning and growing every day…these memes are for you.
