In seventh grade my mom started to think that I have Aspergers. I would continually tell her that I don’t and that I was just different from everyone else, until one day she told me that she signed me up for an appointment to get tested.

However, the most collectible event came when I was just 15 years old. Majority of my friends had been studying for their permit test, while I was at home continuing my

Every fourth grader looks forward to the adventures of fifth grade. In my elementary school there was a program, GEM, for the students who were ahead of their classmates otherwise known as the gifted students.
