Gifted children are often seen as exceptional, but in my view, they carry unique challenges and burdens that others rarely notice. Their big ideas and sharp minds sometimes make it hard for them to find a place to belong. I have always been the kind of person who notices when someone feels out of place, and my dream is to build a career, maybe a business, where I can give gifted children the support that they need to feel more seen and loved. What many people don’t realize is that gifted kids often feel misunderstood. Their minds may be far ahead of their ages, but their hearts are still learning to keep up. They may feel deeply frustrated by things other kids do not even think about like fairness, or their own mistakes. Sometimes, they carry the weight of expectation from their families on friends on their shoulders, since their people are already used to their perfection. I want to work with gifted kids as a psychologist because I want to help them manage those heavy feelings and find joy in who they are. One part of that is creating space for their emotional needs. I want to create various environments where they feel safe expressing their feelings, no matter how big or complicated they are. For example, some kids need help understanding that it is okay to be imperfect sometimes. Others need someone to listen when they feel isolated or left out. I want to be the person who helps them solve those complex feelings. At the same time, I know how important it is to challenge and develop their intellect. Gifted children brighten up when they are given a problem to solve or an idea to explore, but many schools don’t give them those opportunities. I want to work with parents and educators to design programs that meet their unique needs, whether that is through mentorship, independent projects, or just letting them dive deep into the subjects they love the most. These kids need someone who believes in their potential and can show them ways to grow without burning out. I have seen what it is like for someone to feel misunderstood or out of place, and I know how important it is to have someone stand up for you. That’s why I am truly inspired by Lieba Joran’s story. Her bravery in defending people who were being mistreated reminds me of the power of kindness. I want to bring that same spirit into my work by standing up for kids who are often overlooked and helping them find their voice. I want to help gifted children fulfill all their emotional, social, and intellectual needs. I want them to know that their worth is not just in their abilities but in who they are as people. By building their own confidence and helping them find balance in life, I hope they will grow into compassionate and wholesome adults who will use their talents to make the world a better place. Gifted children, with all their strengths and struggles, need to feel that same sense of belonging. That is the dream future I want to create, one where they can thrive, not only just in their minds, but also in their kindred hearts and souls. I wish to bring the happiness of being understood that they all deserve.
