I've decided that I'm going to apply to join MENSA. I don't know if I'll succeed, but I still want to try.
It's just something I've been thinking about for awhile. I want to know what I'm truly capable of. Of course, I have a vague worry that I'll do poorly on the test, but you know what? I still want to know. And besides, I've always tested well. If I remember correctly, I was in the top 30 of my school when I took the ACT (this was 5 years or so ago), so I'm not that worried.
Of course, I don't have a good explanation of why I've decided to do this. After all, this test costs 40 dollars to take, and I don't really get too many noteworthy benefits for joining. But still, it's just something I'd like to do. I think it'd be neat to be able to say that I'm a member of the most famous intellectual group of all time.
And if I fail? Oh, well. Live and learn. It won't quantify me as having any less potential for growth, so I'm going to try it.
Anyway, thanks for letting me talk about this. I guess I just wanted to tell someone. Annonymously, since I don't want my friends or family to know just yet. It's just... I think I'm ready to do something great, and this seems like as good a place as any to start. Thanks again!
Good luck
You're still a jerk.
