i don't understand the obsessive mentality people have about 'what could have been'.
Bitch, you didn't do it. It never was and never was going to be. Get over your self. You are not special.
That's a bit harsh but yeah.
It sucks because they definitely were lied to and given unrealistic expectations as kids but as the saying goes "it's not your fault but it is your responsibility."
If someone is over 30 and still using that excuse it's because they've done nothing to better their situation.
I get that shit happens and people get delayed but whatever that is usually becomes the focal point and not the gifted program.
