Highly Gifted Students in Their School Years — Part 5 of 5

Level Two Longitudinal Study Results for the Final two Highly Gifted Youngsters, Plus a Summary of All 12 Results

In case you didn’t read — or don’t quite remember — the Parts 1–4 of the Level Two highly gifted youngsters in the longitudinal study, I’ll repeat the background. Also, you might find a case study that really reminds you of someone in your own life or family and want to share just this post with them! Two more subjects are presented and I’ve also provided a summary related to all 12 of these Level Two subjects during their educational years.

This group of 12 subjects are essentially at the same Level of Giftedness, Highly Gifted, Level Two, as everyone else in this section. At the same time, not everyone turns out the same by the time they grow up. In some cases it is because of lack of access to the higher tiered institutions; this can be due to lack of money, a background that doesn’t know how to guide the gifted youngster to the right fit where true peers are, or a person who has already been so psychologically hurt or damaged they don’t have the resilience or wherewithal to chart their own course anyway. Many people think an expert should be tell them what the right path is. It is almost always more complicated than that.
