I was in the GATE program in 1st grade. Once a week pulled from class, go to a special class with a random "teacher", computers lined up against the wall and had us listen to the program on the computer with giant grey headphones telling me to "relax ,...

Do you remember being tested for the gifted program? I do. In 3rd grade. I missed it by only a few points and diagnosed with adhd shortly after. They tried to put me on drugs but my mom thought I was too young. I specifically remember them asking me questions regarding psychic abilities during testing.

Lonzo Ball and Michael Porter Jr. say their eighth and ninth grade selves would dominate in the WNBA Lonzo: “I mean this as respectfully as possible, but ninth-grade Lonzo Ball in the WNBA, is going crazy. Look, in ninth grade, I’m over six feet and I’m dunking. I’m coming through the lane. No girl in the WNBA is doing that. I’m going backdoor, throw it up, looking like Jordan out there. I mean it so respectfully, middle school down, I give it to the WNBA” Michael: “I’mma go eighth grade. I have real experience doing this because my sisters went to the University of Missouri. They had me playing on the scout team, and they had a few WNBA players on the team, like Sophie Cunningham. I think I was in the seventh or eighth grade going dumb. I have real life experience. It’s just a difference. And I wish this would stop the conversation because it should be common sense, but it’s just not”

Tom Holland reveals he had to sign up UNDERCOVER to a US High school for 2 weeks for Spider-Man 1 and no one could tell it was him. “A teacher even threw chalks on me” “I secretly enrolled in the Bronx School of Science and went for like 2 weeks in the school” “I had like a fake accent, my chaperone pretended to be my dad and would drop me off at school everyday” “They’re like the smartest kids in America. They’re like genius kids and I’m thick as sh*t” “I made friends and had a backstory. I have a video on my phone of a teacher throwing chalk at me because I was on my phone during classes”

Back in school, whenever people found out that I was Kurdish, the atmosphere would change. At the time, I didn’t openly say that I had a Yazidi background because I was afraid of harassment. Instead, they mocked me. They called us “mountain people,” “hillbillies,” as if it were something shameful. What they didn’t know is that I am proud to be a child of the mountains. My heart belongs to the mountains. When I was in the mountains in Austria, I cried because I knew I would have to return to the flatlands. The mountains — no matter where they are — are a part of me.

Everyone should try this. This was the Gate Program. I remember doing this and being in that program as a kid. When I tapped into my potential, I was sent upstate to a rehab. I was 13 years old. The rehab was for weed, the school put a PINS on me court ordered. My mother had no say in it. Court mandated. I later went on and found myself in the New York Times as a minor with parental consent. I have been a TI my entire life. That's why it comes so natural for me to Rap, write and make music. It also comes naturally for me to wake up other gifted people.

When I was 8 or 9 years old, I had one teacher who noticed that I really liked history. We didn’t study history at all at the time: this only started in the fourth grade. So my teacher, Yonah, excused me from some of the other classes for an hour or two each week, took me to the school library, and gave me some history books. I would just sit there and read about the Romans and the Chinese and the Mongols and the Inca. It was fascinating. The books I read as a child had a huge impact on who I became as an adult. More recently, when I wrote 'Unstoppable Us', I felt like I was writing it for my younger self. This series has one key message for kids: the world in which we live didn’t have to be the way it is. People made it what it is. And people can change it. Books can transport us to other worlds at all ages, but perhaps even more so in our childhood. What a gift to be able to slow down and enter other, perhaps less noisy worlds once in a while. Happy International Children's Book Day. #InternationalChildrensBookDay #reading

When I was in school and I did something bad, the one thing that I was afraid of was that others would find out I got caught doing something so stupid. Back when I was a kid, that was the worst thing that could happen, The other kids would clown us and make fun of us until we left school. For me it was the equivalent to the smelly kid or the one who soiled his pants at school, it was that bad. I wasn’t too concerned about my parents because they were busy supporting us, they weren’t home much and during that time they barely spoke English. So if a teacher called my parents, they wouldn’t know what the school staff was saying anyways, my parents would ask me what they wanted and I would just make something up. Regardless of the method, I think we can all agree that behavior like this is getting more and more common and shouldn’t be tolerated. Either way, what would you think is the solution for this? Was the guard crossing the line for tazing him? I think she shouldn’t have done that.

Chirara twins, Craig and Carel, who are based in the Netherlands, have been exposed on a Zimbabwean community platform on Reddit. They are being accused of scamming several people, including some of their own friends and former schoolmates from Zimbabwe. Carel attended St John's College and Craig attended St George's College, where they both completed high school in 2016. According to the allegations, they usually target old friends. After reconnecting with them, they ask to borrow money and promise to pay it back. However, once they receive the money, they start giving excuses and avoid repaying it. One of the alleged victims shared: I can share my story with the twins. I got scammed too. I knew them from back in high school in Harare. Carel was my friend. Moved to NL for studies. One day Craig added me on Instagram, so I asked him to connect me with his brother. Coincidentally, I happened to be moving to Rotterdam too. When I moved here, they greeted me and my partner with open arms, inviting us over to their place and telling us stories about their lives over the years we had been disconnected (most of which are probably lies now in retrospect). They really emphasized how happy they were to have people they knew from back home in their lives, community and such. After that, we ended up seeing them quite often. They introduced me to their friends and made an effort to show off their lifestyle, etc. One day, similar to the others, I got a phone call from Carel telling me a story about issues with his international account. He needed money transferred to his account and said he would give me cash. Luckily, it was only €600. I agreed because I thought I was helping my friend of 12 years out. And who would try to dodge paying back a friend who knows where they live? So I waited for the transfer for over a week. To be honest, I regretted it the minute I sent the money, but I thought, “He's my friend, I should be able to trust him.” It was then that Reddit posts from others who had similar experiences started appearing, along with a mysterious website exposing them. The moment I realised how badly I had messed up was when my friend, a successful programmer whom I had introduced to them once, gave me a call. He said Craig had called him, claiming he had been hacked and needed assistance. He then went on to ask him for €400. He also revealed that they had called him every few months after I introduced him to them, asking whether he wanted to work for their company and invest in a stake. After that, I went through social media trying to find every person they had ever introduced me to, and I was shocked to discover that they had all had similar experiences. It's horrifying to see two young Zimbabwean men with so much potential waste it this way. Shame on you!

I remember taking a trip to Florida in my teens. We were sightseeing , new to the area. I was just enjoying the sun and the warm weather for once, I didn’t expect to see anything out of the ordinary. It finally hit me as we were enjoying a drink on the water, we see what looks like a floating log. Our friend who owned the boat said to keep our eyes open and don’t freak out, as long as we were in the boat we were fine. Just hearing that alone was almost panic inducing because he didn’t tell us what we were supposed to be careful of. When the “log drifted under the water, I finally understood what it was that we were looking at. Our friend had us piled in a boat on water infested with these gators. Being from up north, we didn’t see much of this. It made me believe I was in my own movie but I was going to be okay, I thought to myself if it was truly dangerous, our friend wouldn’t have brought us out there right? I stayed calm though, I never knew you could fish in areas that had gators, I assumed they would always go after your bait. All in all I would do it again, but I would never have taken anyone in the water and not tell them about the inhabitants, just in case they have a real phobia. Like I would never take my kids in there in case one panics and falls in. But looking back I’m thinking he may have been in the wrong for taking us there, would you take your friends in an area infested with these creatures not knowing? It’s a little messed up in my opinion but I’m over it.

#EmiBonnieLoveSessionLIVE #beonnnie 💜: When I was in 5th grade, I really wanted to sing. I didn't know if I was good at it or not, but I always got 4.00 GPA in music class😉 MC: A little bit of a flex there haha 💜: So I auditioned and joined the singing club. But once I got in, I was bullied by the people in the club. MC: Why? 💜: They bullied me because of my singing voice. MC: What's wrong with it? 💜: I’m not really sure. I had this natural vibrato, it’s hard to explain. My friends just didn't get it. They were like "Hey, can you just stop singing like that?" so I completely stop singing until high school. MC: What made you start singing again? 💜: I had this friend from 5th grade who was in the same club. She was the only person who didn't bully me back then, and we stayed friends. In high school, she started playing guitar and invited me to do song covers together.

A boy touched this woman's daughter's butt at school . This happened to me and it ended quite differently. I sat in front of a black guy my senior year of high school, that would also touch my butt or pat it. I warned him 3 times . He kept doing it. I stood up ... and slapped him in the face as hard as I could. The other students were all like " WHOAA"... some of the kids across the room that didn't see what was going on said " WTF was THAT?" when they heard it. The teacher called me up to the front of the room and asked me why I slapped him . I told her. Surprisingly, he was suspended, but I wasn't. He ended up not coming back after his suspension. I can take alot . . BUT... I had enough that day.

“i had the burden that if i didn’t grow up properly, my sisters wouldn’t grow up properly either. and from when i was in the second grade of elementary school, i would take my sisters to to the public bathhouses with the 3 of us, i washed all the dirt away because i didn’t want to waste money. since i was in elementary school, i did the laundry and dishes for my mom, and during summer vacation, i made sure to make them study ‘today, learn from here until here’. i felt a lot of pressure that i had to lead my sisters to grow up properly. that’s why when i see my sisters, they’re like daughters to me.”

I reported the case to the police, but they collected money just to take my statement and even asked me to name a suspect. I mentioned my neighbor, and they went ahead to arrest him, then told him I was the one who accused him.

“I say this to certain people I’m close to. There are parts of me that still live in the valley. I’ll never forget this for the rest of my life. It’s going to sound crazy and stupid but I remember when I was a kid and my dad was a liquor salesman and some of his accounts were restaurants. He used to take us to early bird dinners because he would get a discount. I thought the restaurants were fancy but they had 3 course meals for $4.95. Think about that. Today, I sometimes find myself looking at a menu and automatically looking at the price. It’s from my childhood and I think it overwhelms me sometimes. That flame is not going out.”

Warren Buffett brilliantly explains how he chooses winning stocks/companies - so simple but genius "When i was 23, if i got interested in the coal business, I would go out and see the CEOs of eight or ten coal companies. And the interesting thing was I never made appointments or anything. I just dropped in. But they felt a fellow from Omaha who looked like me couldn't be too harmful... so they they'd always see me. And I would and ask them a lot of questions, but two questions I would ask them were: One, if they had to put all of their money into any coal company except their own and go away for 10 years and couldn't change it, which one would it be and why? And after I got an answer to that, I would ask, if they had to sell short an equivalent amount of money in one coal company, which would it be and why? And if I went around and talked to everybody in the coal business about that, I would know more about the coal companies from an economic standpoint than any one of those managers probably would. So, I think there's lots of ways to learn about business."

I couldn’t perform in my hometown without going back to where it all started Howard W. Blake High-School🐝 • I remember showing up to audition for the Chorus program with no training and no ability to read or compose music. I remember my chorus teacher asking me if I came with sheet music and all I had was the “At Last” instrumental from YouTube (the Beyonce version of course) and a aux chord 😂 I was accepted into the program b/c of my talent and because my mentors saw a seed and watered it. By the time I left performing arts school I was writing and reading music. More than ready to go independent as an artist! What an honor it was to speak to the gifted kids of Blake High School 👏🏿 the future icons of entertainment! If any student who missed my speech is reading this: take advantage of the resources available to you right now (because it costs allota money to get training when you’re older lol) get to class on time, practice at home while others are sleeping and collaborate with your peers. You have a gift, hone it, use it and be proud of it. When opportunity meets preparation A STAR IS BORN ! Thank you to everyone teacher that poured into me during my 4 years of school. You taught me DISCIPLINE at an age where it was very hard to focus lol I carry your lessons with me to this day. 4X Grammy nominated and I give a major part of that to Blake High-school and my mommy for for enrolling me !

I couldn’t perform in my hometown without going back to where it all started Howard W. Blake High-School🐝 • I remember showing up to audition for the Chorus program with no training and no ability to read or compose music. I remember my chorus teacher asking me if I came with sheet music and all I had was the “At Last” instrumental from YouTube (the Beyonce version of course) and a aux chord 😂 I was accepted into the program b/c of my talent and because my mentors saw a seed and watered it. By the time I left performing arts school I was writing and reading music. More than ready to go independent as an artist! What an honor it was to speak to the gifted kids of Blake High School 👏🏿 the future icons of entertainment!

FROM INBOX | This morning at 7:15, I was a$$aulted by a City of Harare traffic officer. The incident began around 7:05 when two officers approached me as I was parking in a bay. They claimed that one of my car tyres had stepped on a white line. When I asked for a moment to park properly, one officer jumped into the back of my car, while the other clamped it and then also got into the vehicle. They demanded that I drive to their Coventry Road office but then began pressuring me for money, implying that if I didn't give them something, I would be charged $98 once they took the car in. I explained that I didn't have any money, but they continued to threa+en me. I started recording the conversation on my phone, took out $20, and as they were stepping out, I told them I had recorded everything. One officer immediately rushed off, and the other followed. When I demanded my money back, one of them attempted to flee and then śtruck me on the chin with a baton stick and a clenched fist before running away. I sustained a cut on my chin and it’s swollen. I have reported the incident to the police.
