Gifted kids can change the world

By , san Ramon, CA
Gifted kids are different individuals. They are those who can see different things and solve the problem on their own way.
Gifted kids can help for poverty and world hunger.They can also work for keeping the environment clean and also for children’s right.This can be started at home,thenschool and then at community level.They can save the community by helping in various way.Such as – watering plants that gives us fresh air, collecting donations for families in need. If they can help people they are helping their children too because it will make them enough money or resources to make their live better. They will be able to buy land,food tools and other things and they can send their kids to school.
They can save the water by turning off the tap while brushing and should not take long bath.They can save the electricity by turning the lights off when not in use. They can saavae the environment by not burning trees.They can save the animals by giving them shelter. Also they can save the mother earth by not dumping garbage into the sea.

And nongifted kids completely stink and can't do any of this? This had a lot of simple grammatical errors that took away from the piece. It was okay, but could've been much stronger.

You never even said what a "gifted child" is. What are the qualifications for being one? This is an extremely discriminatory piece. It's saying that anyone who is not smart can't make a change in the world. It's ignorance at its worst.

Hi Everone,

Thanks for the comments. Basically the idea behind this small paragraph was to let the world know,that you don't have to pass any exams to be gifted.
Agree with Liv297, anyone with a different vision and could do thing differently. You only have to look for your inner capability. That's it.

Main point here is about how we could save the environment. You don't have to go to certain college and take admission to certain course. Be yourself and be hones... (more »)

You don't have to be gifted to turn of the tap or do any of these things. This was pretty dry and redundant, it just restated common knowledge about the environment.  

The topic sentence is misleading. It starts out mentioning povert, children's rights etc but it's mostly about the environment.

i dont think the author was referring to the gifted test. they were using gifted to say someone who is driven to help other and make a difference

I think everyone might be misinterpreting the use of gifted in this article. Maybe the author isn't refering to kids that are gifted with intelligence, or ability, or anything like that. Maybe it is someone who has a desire to help someone else. This drive is a gift in itself, and acting upon it makes it even more so.

I think everyone is gifted one way or another  and that you can use that gift in a way so that you could benefit the environment or anythng else. you dont necessarily have to be gifted you just have to take action.  Just my opinion.

What the heck is this supposed to mean? Just because the "test" they give you says you're smart, that doesn't make you different from anyone else. There are plenty of things anyone can do without having to be told they're "smarter" than everyone else.

yes, I do agree with you. For taking a short shower or putting garbage for recycling, doesn't need to be GIFTED.

Instead, you have to change your thinking to do that and you have to spread the message for the same.

Only Gifted can do that.....as they are able to think DIFFERENTLY.........

 

 

Anybody can think differently. I know plenty of people who aren't on the gifted ... (more »)

I hope you know that yes, gifted kids can do this, but so can normal people. Just because you have a higher intelligence quota has nothing to do with if you can can dump bottles into a recycling bin.

You're idea is good but I found that all your examples aren't things just gifted people can do, they are really easy, normal things. You don't have to be gifted to take a short shower, or to turn the lights off.

You don't have to be gifted to think differently. Anyway what is the definition of a gifted person? Is it just someone who goes to a gifted school? I'm going to look it up but if you know please tell.

if you are able to think out of the box and be creative and smart without being a know it all then you are gifted. It doesn't matter what a bunch of official guys with tests say, as long as you can do the above listed things you are gifted.

I am in a gifted program at school. A lot of times, when people find out I'm a gifted student, they just say "nerd," or "know-it-all." At first I'm a little hurt. There's nothing wrong with being smart.  And then I think, "yeah, but while I'm out doing stuff to save the world, you're here breathing our air and self-pitying yourself." I think gifted kids need to stop worrying about what others will think of them and step up to the plate to make our world a better place.

Well I didn't mean to say normal kids. I was trying to make a point that anyone who's not known as "gifted" could save the world. Of course everyone is special! The way the article sounded was like the author was referring to people in a gifted class at school or something.

What about normal kids??!! They can't save the world at all? Changing the world is great, but everyone can do it, not just "gifted kids."

As said - " Gifted kids are those, who can think differently for the betterment of the environment".

So, if one can think the same ,automatically their thinking makes them "GIFTED". No kid is normal, as each of them has a unique and special way of thinking.

It upto them to choose, what they should do.

in response to the topic itself, one person is not enough to make a huge difference. Only the gifted people of the world will not make a significant impact. We need the world to join us in our efforts to foster our world. It is slowly deteriorating with the recklessness of many. Our real enemy is this recklessness. The only way to overcome it is to outnumber it. We must alert the world- not only smart, gifted people, but even the average joe. With everyone's help our efforts will prove to be suc... (more »)
