Am I an Underachiever?
Are you an underachiever? I think I was drawn to this topic for two reasons. One reason is because of the studies I've been doing on gifted and talented students. The other is because I believe that some of my own kids, my sons, are underachievers. But, do I want to look closely, I mean really closely and ask, am I an underachiever? I'm sort of scared to ask. Naturally we all have times, moments maybe, that we are underachieving...a little bit. But, overall, could I do more, could I do what I do better? Is saying that "I'm just unorganized" really mean I'm too unmotivated(lazy?) to...organize what I should organize or take care of what needs to be taken care of? HHhmmm? I'm not sure I want to address this with myself yet!

I think I've had times in my life when I was an underachiever, but overall I know that I'm happier as an overachiever. Too much to do=happiness for me, within reason of course. Right now I'm in full overachiever mode and it feels great!
