I had a friend when I was younger that inspired me. She was always prepared for class, had neat handwriting, and the teachers loved her. We were such good friends, she wanted me to join the school's talented and gifted program. I remember how happy she was when she was pitching the idea to me. She explained they did really fun activities in the class. I also remember the look on her face when the teacher explained to her that class was only for talented and gifted students. I appreciate the invite, all these years later. I think the first step to being clever is someone else believing it.
