Interesting. I was also in GT at a school in Austin. My parents thought I was very bright, but one of my teachers would consistently get angry at me in her class. I did a lot of dumb kid stuff because I was oblivious that it was bod or did it by accident, but she insisted to my parents that I did it on purpose for attention. They knew I wasn't but they had me take a neuropsych exam to see if I had add or other cognitive disabilities. The report came back that I had add and some other neuro issues but it also said that I tested in the supirior category for intelligence. I can't remember if this was before or after I got into GT. I took their test and fell just short of the border to get in, but my mom pushed for it. Oddly enough I have little memory of GT all together. I remember the first day pretty well, a fun project we did, and 5th grade GT where they would talk to us about think tanks and pushing us to work in them, but I think it's weird that a large chunk of it is missing from memory.

On another note, did anyone have childhood fears of general MK Ultra shit? Every time something like that would come up in a cartoon I would be overcome with absolute fear. I had a big fear of the government, aliens, or psychiatric wards, but I have no clue where it stems from.
