    In the article “Growing Up Gifted,” the author claims the reasons that talented individuals are having a hard time adjective to the human society mindset and pressure and like a sponge trying to obtain many things at one which the spark of surviving in certain ways is burning out.Mostly works on talented high schools/area that has a great acknowledgment that can contain the gifted students/individuals since the school motive to obtain significant advance people that can better survive in life.In my 15-16 years old, I was burning out of passion when I realized that death was a natural answer to this bitter/clam world that still keeps spinning. I was weak in mindset, and I don’t want to do the pleasures in life. I was considering to being like a dark soul preferring death since look like an easy way out.

    In the reading “Growing Up Gifted” the author presents how a child from a very young age can have such gifted talents like an older man can have called gifted prodigies. Also, said that very talented people wear down because they they do not achieve their dreams, and from my knowledge one reason that might cause someone to give up is that people caring about what other people might think and they give up because they fear what other people will think if they fail. I like the idea of the character (Pascal Charbonneau) from the reading that he decided to attend classes and explore or concentrate on other interests, such as sports and french literature. There are people in this world that has special talent from a very young age, but that doesn’t stop them from seeking for opportunities and interests. I believe everyone is born with some kind of talent doesn’t matter if it’s small or big, I have my own talent that I might not have figured out yet but when I do, what I am doing right now can’t stop me from coming to an broad result of that talent.

      In the article “Growing up Gifted” the author claim many young musical prodigies have walked away from their career after discovering they will not become the star of their dreams. In my experience the reason why talented People give up on their dreams is because they don’t fight for it they listen what other people say for example you can’t make it ,you wasting your time , only in your dreams. And this words can cause a gifted person to burn out Gifted need to survive they gift they need to not pay attention to what others think of them. i learn a lesson during my experience that people want to see you do good but never better than they.

    In the article ” Growing Up Gifted”, the author mention that some very talented people burn out because they do not achieve their dreams . Some Another reasons that cause people to burn out and give up on their dreams are stress and pressure . I remember 3 years ago I failed a test because my brother was pressuring me too much I got stressed out and I failed the test. I gave up and I never went back to take the test again . Beside that I know that pressure has destroyed a lot talented young people.

    In the article “Growing Up Gifted”, the author shows that not all young talents achieve their goals because some times they have the pressure to success, some times it comes from their own family or even from the society around them. however, in my opinion some talented people give up what they do because they are uncomfortable or not satisfied doing in it. IF you have a special talent And you want to be successful you have to do what do you like, not what do you think its better. This article reminds me to the king David of the old testament in the bible. He was one the best kings in his time, but he did not like what he was doing because his passion was fighting with his army. He left his throne and fought with his army. Not just because you have a special talent in what thing means that you could not achieve your dreams. we have to keep in my that some times our dreams and our talents, they have a different path.

    In “Growing Up Gifted” the author, show that they are many giften people that burn out becuase they do not achieve what they are chose to achieve. Something that might affect a giften person of not achieve they talent is to stay on school and not follow what they are chose to do in life. They are people that give up on they talented because most of those people do not want to be famous. I agree that they are people that do not continue they taleted becuase they probably are scared to be recognize of what they do.

    In the article “Growing Up Gifted” the author mentions that not every young talented people achieve what they are wanted to achieve in their life . When they do not achieve what they wanted to achieve then they burn out. In my opinion we do not have to burn out when we do not achieve what we wanted to achieve. We have to work hard to become a successful people . We do not have to give up if we wont achieve our goals. We have to learn from our mistake that we did to achieve our goals, not to give up. For example one of my friend failed twice in his class and after that he stopped coming school because he always think that he wont pass this class and he gave up. His dad told him u do not have to give up because giving up is not answer of your solution. u have to learn from your mistake then you will achieve your goal. When he learned from his mistake then he passes his class and came on top.

    In the article “Growing Up Gifted” the author mention that some very talented people burn out because they cannot achieve their goals. Also, sometime stress becomes one of the reasons to burn out and give up on their dreams. I agree with the author because when a person cannot handle his/her stress he/she give up on the dreams. In my life, when I came to the United States I felt stress because I could not speak in english. But my english teacher always encouraged me not to give up and I work hard to improve myself. I think people should learn from their mistake to improve not to give up.

    In the article “Growing Up Gifted,” the author claims that some very talented people burn out because they do not achieve their dreams. I believe there’re other reasons may burn up a talent. First of them is “pressure” I’ve witnessed this a lot especially for young sport players. I have a cousin who’s soccer skills are AMAZING, but his parents were always putting him in pressure until he decided to stop escape from his division A team. In addition, confidence is important for all the talented people to have. Anyone may have a great talent, but if he/she isn’t confident in him/her self. The talent can get burn up easily.

    In the article, “Growing Up Gifted,” the author describes that there are some challenging students those who work hard, but don’t get to achieve what they want due to some pressure on them. That makes them to stay away from that. I agree with that because some people just feel stressful when they can’t achieve their goals after they do hard work even though they had the talent. It connects to myself due to the fact that there are a few things when I can’t do after I have the ability, I just give up. I don’t try it anymore. I feel like I don’t want to waste my time anymore.

    In the article “Growing Up Gifted,” the author states that young people are not able to achieved because they get pressures which gives them the stress of giving up. According to the author, “Many gifted students choose to finish school early to avoid getting bored.” I agree with the author’s quote because many young people don’t take school serious. Sometimes young people thinks that they work hard but doesn’t get the result they wanted so it give them lesser hope. For instance, everyday after school I have to deal with homeworks and whole bunch of kids. My students are just cancer to me. I get stress from them and they’re acting so immature. In addition I was thinking about quiting this job, but it is one of my interest and on the other hand I like to play with little kids.

    In the article, “Growing Up Gifted,”mention that some very talented people bun out because they do not achieve their dreams. Also they weary about to compared to other people. In my point of view,, I believe parent also can cause their children burn out and give up. Many parent are perfectionists they want their children to be the best but they don’t realize this could cause their child burn out and give up because the pressure. In the Tv shows I wathed the kid his mother want him to want the chess and become the champion and everyday he learned how to play chess and he want the game became champion. After that, he never touched the chess. This is the reason why I think parent can also burn out chidren.

    In the article “Growing Up Gifted,” the author states that many talented young people burn out, and they walked away from their dream after discovering they will not become the star of their dreams because the pressure has destroyed them. I agree with the author, a lot of people gave up on what they are trying to do because they feel it is too stressful for them. Despite they spent many hours, days or months on what they are trying to achieve. I remember I started to learn how to swim at a very young age, the coach taught me how to breath in the water but I could not do it no matter how many time I tired. I gave up on learning how to swim after 4 or 5 classes. I still don’t know how to swim at this time.

    In the article “Growing Up Gifted” the author describes many gifted children had their dreams shattered and wake away of it. The reason is the amount of pressure they been holding up and destroy everything they work for. I can say that this isn’t the problem, it can come from your parents or the amount of homework your teachers give you. For example, during my sophomore years I took a sport program after school from 4-8:30pm. I didn’t have time for none of my homeworks and cause my grades to drop down. I didn’t have no choice but to leave the program and concentrate on my grades only. I agree of what the author as to say because not only the gifted students has this problem but the young actors are facing this problem too. Never give up, try it again and it might come true.

    In the article “Growing Up Gifted” the author states that some very talent people burn out because they cannot achieve their goals. In my knowledge, I think the outside factors and their personal problems is cause talent people to give up. Many talent people usually have a bigger goals than normal people, they will have a higher expectation on themselves, but also afraid in failure, if they fail on the goals, they will start consider that that are not that good at this area, so they burn out on their dream. Talent people also like to compare themselves to another who were talent also. My friend was burn out on game player dream cause his parents only want him to focus on studying.

    In the article “Growing Up Gifted,” the author claims that some very talented people bun out because they do not achieve their dreams. There are many things that can cause people to burn out, though. I am agree with the author because its happen to me too. My dream was to see myself as a Architecture after five years. In 2016 I started my journey to follow my dream. At the beginning everything was very well. After two semester I had to face something that I didn’t think about. I didn’t able to follow my dream because of my family I had to give up. Still now I feel so broken inside but no one knows that pain. But my suggestion to others is that never give up your dream because if you do so you will suffer it later.

    In the article “Growing Up Gifted,” the author states many gifted students can’t achieve their goals to become top in the realm, then they will be burn out. In the article, many gifted students are perfectionists. they want everything to be perfect and be the top one in their realm. This pressure has destroyed a lot of gifted students because not every gifted students can achieve their goals. People put too much expectation on them, so when these gifted students can’t achieve it, then they will be give up or burn out because they can’t accept to be defeated and don’t want to same with the general people.

    In the article ”Growing Up Gifted,” the author claims that most of the people became prodigies in their young age. I agree with the Author that many talented young prodigies simply burn out when they can’t achieved their dreams. This happen when everyone tries to became next champion and that pressure has destroyed a lot of talented young people. Rarely some young people survive and they did not burn out because that’s the goal to survive their gift. It is realistic in our life because this happened a lots that people burn out when they not become the star of their dreams. But less peoples did not gave up and they try their best to achieved their dreams in young age. In my experience, there are several cause to burn out and give up such as more pressure, everyone want to become a star,not able to achieved their goals, etc. One of my friends he’s a musicians and he want to perform on stage but he could not and still did not gave up because he knew that he will do it one day. Later, he was success to perform and became little famous and he is only 18 years old.

    In the article “Growing Up Gifted” the author states young people who burns out are the ones that cannot achieved the goal that they want and with their way full of tragedy. However, one exception is that they never gave up on themselves and they kept trying their possibilities. In my perspective, I think that there are many things in life that humans never give up on themselves such as raise grades that are down to the rift and many other things.
