On being human

You always thought that you were gifted. Not because you were the best athlete in your class or the best-looking student in your dorm, or because you were named the valedictorian at high school graduation. In fact, you were none of these, and in some cases, far from it. There were plenty of instances when you wished you could come up with that game-winning play, emit the charisma of a screen star when you walked into a party, or achieve the highest score on an examination. Rather, you felt gifted because you always knew that you wanted to be an orthodontist.
