<p>No, because I'm that kid.</p>
<p>Haha, I'm actually not. I just felt like saying that. But I don't really think we have those types of at our school.</p>
<p>There's a girl in my grade who's incredibly gifted at math, won many math competitions/awards, excelling in all the AP classes not just math, state level tennis, went to a prestigious summer program. Rich parents too. Not much of a social life though, but that doesn't really matter much if all you want to do is get into an Ivy League school.</p>
<p>And you know what she does all the time? She whines about how much she hates her life. It takes a lot of effort not to kick her in the head.</p>
<p>sadly enough i dont know any kids who "have it all"</p>
<p>yeah. this girl in my grade (10) is very preety, unlike me, very smart, unlike me and seems to get any guy to pay attention to her. She's one of my best friends lol...i am jealous of her and sometimes feel like hating her, but i cant cause she's so nice.</p>
<p>Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.</p>
<p><em>thinks for a while</em></p>
<p>Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.</p>
<p>You know, I seriously hope that people at my school aren't jealous of me to the point of wanting to inflict physical harm upon me. :-\ (The feeling I get is that they look up to me. Even, I've heard, for my appearance and sense of style, which is... well... fine, I'll respect that, if that's the consensus...) The only thing that I've done that I haven't been the best at (in the context of my class) has been sports, but that was a community athletic activity, not a school one, so hardly any of my peers witnessed my failures (none of which were at all severe, I might as well mention). :p</p>
<p>I did have a friend, whom I highly respect, who attends Stanford U now--superb in everything, but mainly a math/science guy (currently a physics major; in response to the "what's your major?" question: "...I kind of wish that there had been any question about it, but... there wasn't. Oh, well. :D"). He also played the oboe with the county/regional orchestra, I think, was an accomplished tennis player, had 1590 on the old SAT, and I don't even know what-all else. The only class we had together was AP Spanish, but it was awesome: I'm sure neither of us would have had either as good a time or as sure a 5 if the other hadn't been there; he and I were extremely competitive, in a friendly way. I'm proud to say that I always scored higher 5s on practice exams than he did--yesss! I'm still feeling triumphant about that... Although I'm a language person and he wasn't, necessarily. Although, I was a sophomore and he was a senior when we had AP Spanish. Although, my mother is the Spanish teacher... yeah, okay, I did have the advantage. But I still beat him at something! (Probably the only person at my high school who ever did beat him at anything... heh, heh. :cool: ;)) :D
I can say with a fair amount of surety that I also score more points in the looks department than he. That, however, is subjective and besides, it doesn't really count, in my mind. It's not as if we were competing for the same achievements that can be garnered through good looks and/or superficial popularity. ^.~ :D</p>
<p>AND I am happy being who I am. I think I have a good life (wealth is one thing that I--my family--lack(s) in a significant way, but I don't care about that), I have good prospects and a bright future, and I lovelove*love* my friends. :)</p>

Are you jealous of the kid who has it all?

It is amazing how so many people know me. ;)</p>
<p>No one is perfect.</p>
<p>^ You've obviously never met me</p>
<p>(jay kay)</p>
<p>I find it sad that people are jealous of me. Honestly, my life really isn't that great. It just looks that way.</p>
<p>No one has it all, period. Unless they're IMO gold medalists, in which case they think they should be more well-rounded and take up tennis. Or they're Tennis Olympics champions, in which case they think they should be better at math. Or they're Ernest Hemingway, who committed suicide.</p>
<p>The ceiling is higher for the more successful. Many people on this forum probably "have it all" by average standards -- yet they have their problems as well. Even if their problems are objectively smaller, small problems can seem a lot bigger when you're not struggling for survival. Our brains are stingy with happiness.</p>
<p>Thinking.... thinking.... thinking.......</p>
<p>I don't really know anyone who has it *all<a href="except%20for%20ChaosTheory%20of%20course">/i</a>, but that doesn't surprise me.</p>
<p>Look, I'll give you an example of myself:
I'm smart. There, it's out there. I'm not going to beat around the bush about that and be overly modest when it's easy enough to face. And I bet you're smart also.
Anyway, I have friends. Does that make me popular? Maybe, maybe not. But when I walk into a room, people start whispering about the freaky smart Asian chick, not the girl with friends. </p>
<p>That makes me think that, at least at my school, you are remembered for one aspect of your personality, so it's impossible to really have it all.</p>
<p>.-_-.</p>
<p>not really.</p>
<p>HAHA.
OP-
First, no one is perfect. I have honestly never met anyone with that exact combination you described. Even if someone "has it all" they are always missing something. Somebody with a 36 on the ACT may lack personality, and someone else with a great personality may lack high scores. </p>
<p>I like what Nyriki said, "I am not a genius, I just have ambition"</p>
<p>urgh, yes. That kid who's great-looking, never seems stressed, yet gets 110's on all their tests without any extra credit offered, valedictorian, class president every year, in a great relationship, track team star, baseball prospect, and bunches of prestigious awards and competitions. Everyone LOVES them. </p>
<p>blurgh.</p>
<p>Bill Gates has it all and is helping others get it all.</p>
<p>^ except he has really bad eyesight. Have you seen pictures of him from the 80s? Man, his bifocals are like three inches deep.</p>
<p>probably from all the time in front of a computer!</p>
<p>Well, all I have to say is, his wife must be thanking God everyday that the computer nerd/harvard-drop out became the world's richest man.</p>
<p>Ever thought about the possibility of frequent heart-shattering family problems?

What's so tranquil on the outside isn't necessarily so on the inside.
I think life gives and life takes.</p>
<p>fizix, at least you are sane! thank you thank you :)</p>
