...amount to much? However, Today I have amounted to a LOT. They placed me in ESE when I began schooling and today I am quite successful and above average in many aspects of my life.
My achievements include: Scoring a perfect score on the state-writing test in 10th grade and getting straight A's my senior year. Even though I only did get a 3.3 GPA when I graduated, I still consider that pretty darn good and I was very lazy my freshmen year so I know I had the potential to reach a 3.5 GPA or higher if I put in extra effort.
I have consistently earned A's in technology class and I'm not saying I'm a genius. I study, I need too in order to obtain my personal goals but it blows my mind that they would say I wouldn't amount to much because my IQ score was slightly low.
Does it sound like I'm stupid from this question? My question to you is: Just how accurate is an IQ test in determining what one will amount to in life?
I find it completely inaccurate, I don't feel below average, I know I have my weaknesses and I'm not perfect but I think I have the potential to amount to great things and I think I've made great strides in my academic journey that show proof of that. If only I could see who-ever those people were who said that now and prove them wrong...
(I'm 18, 1st yr. in college btw.)
