74. “Gifted means you have abilities to do stuff others may not be able to do, even if they are not
easy. This tree is growing in the shade under a step….that’s not easy.”

75. “As a gifted learner I feel that I am different;
I am a leader; and I am powerful!”

76. “We all have an impact on the world.
Although we’re small, someday we
will do something great. It means to
be inspiring, creative, helpful, and smart.
Although being gifted has its problems,
Being gifted is very special.”

77. “Giftedness is being
different in your own way
and to capture beautiful
moments in life for
something cool. Then your
differences will shine!”

78. “Giftedness means you
can be talented in some
things but not at others;
you swing back and forth
at the things you are good
at and the things you are
not.”

79. “Being gifted
means being
creative in
your own
special way.”
