OF ANYTHING TO BE PROUD OF
What I heard in my discussions caused me to indicate on what I went through when I was told I had a gift.
After Primary 6, I was accepted into my first choice of supplementary school and took the train to young college. That, I got into another careful educational program. After I left the GE P’s official boundaries, things started to go off course.
The A-Levels were the time I realized how challenging steady effort had become for me.  ,
When I was in young college, I spent my time doing nothing but studying for the test, and I recognized Mr. Yee’s worry of trying and the ensuing mitigation.
I continued to get into college after realizing I had been relying heavily on having a membership in elite programs to maintain my self-esteem for decades.
I had to put this down for an even longer time to realize that I had overly influenced my self-awareness from other people’s intelligence.
There were many variables that affected this. However, I believe that reading that I was a” perfect person,” with more than just academic skills, and receiving assistance with challenging emotions, would have helped me as a young person.
Years after I was in college, I was not the only one who gained quality.
After being asked to leave the GEP, Mr. Yee occasionally considered ending his life. He credits screamo songs with helping him deal with his pent-up thoughts, despite having no confidants.
He was permitted to continue in a non-GEP school at his extra school. But, as his parents could never afford the fees, he had to move to another institution.
At this fresh class, not much changed for him professionally. But physically, he experienced” a pretty extreme change” as he suddenly found people he may connect with. His instructors responded to his inquiries with enthusiasm and openness.
” Every time I wanted to have certain debates with them, they would engage me, which was nice” . ,
Although he was a move pupil, his classmates made attempts to contain him, and he made great friends.
He received grades that were appropriate for a private college after graduating from junior school. After federal assistance, he started working otherwise, as he still disliked college and had financial obligations.  , Without a education, he worked 18-hour time in his first work to show himself.
I inquired about Mr. Yee’s current importance of being a brilliant or intelligent person.
He said,” I would rather be proud of something I accomplish through my own work.” ” The lottery of life is generally how smart you are, just like how you were born.”
Instead, he was glad of how his occupation had advanced without a degree.  , Then a vice chairman at a real estate technology business, he is studying for a bachelor’s degree and has programs for a mentor so he can move further up the professional ladder.
If he had a baby in the future and was offered a position in the GEP, I asked what he would do.  ,
I was surprised at his comment despite my expectation that he would have reservations about this.
” Having experienced that mental turmoil in the growing years, I know exactly what I need to do to ensure that they grow up healthy and with the right approach to succeed,” said one woman.
” The most important stage is, I may ascribe all their achievement to hard work, not because they’re wise or because they’re talented. I’ll also promote the significance they need to strive for in everything they desire.
” No matter if it’s easy for them, or it’s difficult for them, I did not attribute it to their normal tendencies”.
He added that if children have been let down by what they perceive as a lack of attention, they will immediately stop asking the questions of those around them.
” I think that was a bit of what I even went through”, he said.
” I will make sure that no matter how hectic or consumed I am with life, I will often make it a point to join them whenever they express some kind of curiosity.”
