I've noticed as a gifted student that the streets and also anti-science and anti-religion both love when someone like me doesn't hide their candle under a bushel. They're on the hunt and unfortunately, though programs like G.A.T.E. or Gifted And Talented Education do a lot of good, they also put us on the radar and now with the rise of extremism and conspiracy theories that are way way out there, we're dead man/woman walking. I've likely got crazies not limited to info wars types hating on me as well as activists, hackers, ecoterrorists, hate groups, gangs and Terrorists that hate or fear my type of intelligence or want to use it for their purposes. However, my main focus was medicine early on. In 3rd grade or so I walked far to the county library to read and read medical encyclopedias, medical journals and sci-fi, horror and military material etc. I made friends with the librarians and admittedly had a crush on one. #giftedandtalentededucation #giftedstudents #stem #extremism #radicalization #gangs #terrorists #organizedcrime #merica🇺🇸 #military #militaryscience #thinblueline #veterans and it didn't help I watched military and police series and movies on tv and animations and had the action figures to match and was also physically active, lived clean in spite of not believing in mormonism early on in grade school etc. I also kept a clean record. Very abnormal for a biker town infested with drugs, bikers, hate groups and some gangs and Anarchists and hateful Mormons, and I'll say Utah is less hateful and so is Idaho at first. Until you piss them off. Lol (at North Ogden, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHbGHy-HLVG/?igshid=1b2tgjjlozff0
