I have a higher than average IQ, but I failed psychometric tests to get to KPMG and the likes. Added with my conditions, which I do not dare to disclose because I don't want to jeopardize my career, I do ask myself, why do I still have to fill grammar exercise books and math practice questions, day in, day out, with no visible rewards (like a guaranteed place in Uni and a career path for me to settle on)?
If we ever feel we are academically inefficient, don't worry. Just do what we always did best - like drawing, painting models and composing new songs? But most important of all, if you are still a student, just do your best to keep up with your homework and do what you love in your free time, just doing what you love as it is (with no view to win a certain competition, get a certain plum internship placement, etc).
