for putting this into their daily newsletter despite everything else

Sometimes I wonder what made me defy the stereotype, and clearly I have to thank my parents and teachers who always ensured me that I was smart, so there was no room for doubt. My early report cards always say how I was a pleasure to teach, and my parents fought to get me IQ tests and placed into the gifted program at an early age.
(This is on my wish list. Put it on yours too! https://www.rebelgirls.co)
Check out the article below! (I hope to start finding more of these articles and writing a response to them, but not sure I can add to this today!)
