<p>Is there someone in your life who is extremely gifted. Maybe a perfect score or excelled at a really young age. </p>
<p>If so, please post.</p>
<p>My friend *****. She scored a perfect SAT in 8th grade. She went on to get a perfect ACT, SAT, and PSAT. </p>
<p>Plus, she was runner-up Miss Michigan. I am so jealous of her, but she makes it hard not to like her :P</p>
<p>I don’t know if my (now former) math olympiad tutor counts…</p>
<p>He was the Top math student at Cambridge (UK), finished his PhD in mathematics 3 years earlier than expected and was personally invited to the Institute for Advanced Studies by Andrew Wiles.</p>
<p>keep them coming</p>
<p>um… my older brother?</p>
<p>He could read when he was 2, he knew all the presidents and the capitals when he was 3, etc. He scored a perfect on the SAT on his first try and without studying (he didn’t even take math that year, took bc in 10th grade). He’d get a 100 on his test and quizzes, but never did his homework. It seemed that he slept and played video games the whole time during high school…</p>
<p>^I was like that until like 7th grade. I started reading when I was like a year old, memorized facts and geography in the world almanac in school, and got a 100 on everything, and then I started slipping. :(.</p>
<p>Smartest person that I met are David Yang(that trivial boy who went to Black Mop in 7th grade).
But since he’s not really “in my life”, the smartest person that I know is me(soon this will change when I go to PA).</p>
<p>
that stinks >.> my older brother is still like that… supposedly he got one of the highest gres that a grad school ever seen, and got a really high mcat without studying.</p>
<p>I honestly can’t think of anyone.
I have a long list of stupid people that I know, like this kid who’s the son of one of my mother’s friends. He’s dumb as a brick and thought that “inauguration” was the name of a person. </p>
<p>Sigh.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha, I’m pretty sure I know exactly who you’re referring to. However, for pure knowledge of everything, I would have to go with this one kid who goes to Detroit Country Day and is a beast at quiz bowl.</p>
<p>Define smart.</p>
<p>Well, I’m pretty modest, so I have to say myself.</p>
<p>If we’re talking about intrinsic intelligent, my Literature teacher for sure.</p>
<p>The smartest person I know is my Physics teacher… I attribute his smartness to all of his reading.</p>
<p>I also know Timothy Gowers, but I don’t think that counts…</p>
<p>Our Econ. AP teacher. He went to Harvard and some other Ivy school. Taught at a university in Japan. Wrote numerous books about economy. Rejected for a professorship at community college for being too “smart”.</p>
<p>I wonder why he is at our high school, even though he could get a better job or retire (probably because of the “love of teaching lovely high school seniors”).</p>
<p>or…</p>
<p>If you want high school person
Our valedictorian has a 5.2 Weighted GPA (probably b/c of all those community college classes), perfect score SAT, and got into all the Ivies that she applied to.</p>
<p>Jonathan Gootenberg, ibo bold medalist</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wait, wait, wait…</p>
<p>Does the quote “That’s very, very fail” mean anything to you? :D</p>
<p>^^Lol, bold medalist
^yes, it means that I just failed at grammar(it actually applies to everything, as “It’s trivial” does). “It’s trivial” is just so annoying. David saying the line even for a problem that he can’t solve is frustrating.</p>
<p>lol I think it’s just the way he says it…kind of disgusted, yet still contained and stuffy. It’s actually sort of admiring, really, that he can say that about problems I wouldn’t even think about touching.</p>
