Have you ever had answers just pop into your head in school? Have you read the teacher's mind? Have you ever felt you had "the edge" in your class just because you know the answers without the feeling of learning about the subject first?


1.Yes. In my AlgebraII class I had a test. I came in late to class because I was down at the office talking to my counsler about FLVS. I remember only once, it was as soon as I heard the late bell ring, "I have a test first period." I brushed it off and didn't even worry about being late for the test. This is unlike me because I'm usually very uptight about being on time for things, and having the need to know what's ahead. After I left her office, she wrote me a pass of course, I went into my math class and saw all my fellow classmates working hard on their test (30mins had already went by for class. 50 mins per class). I got my test and felt at ease. I sat down at my desk and quickly started on the problems. The first 9 questions I already knew, the last one on the other hand was more difficult, the part of the section I didn't quite understand. I remember looking at the problem and saying to myself "5 seems like it fits." I wrote down five before I checked my work to make sure it came to the right conclusion. Sure enough the answer WAS five. Now, the only way I was able to check my work was by plugging in the number five into the equation. This may see simple, and I'm sure most of you could of down that problem in seconds, but when I looked at the problem the number five just came to my mind. I ended up being the first one to finish the test and hand it in. I took the test within 5 minutes as soon as I sat down at my desk.

2.As for reading minds of my teachers, can't recall.

3.I don't feel as if I have an edge over my fellow classmates, I see it as, I'm more willing to learn than most around me.
