Everyone is Talented
From the Nerd to the Jock to the Goth to the Geek . . . high school has always been an eclectic gathering. It mirrors life. But unlike suburbs or gated communities, in high school we must learn to sit beside and work with people very much unlike ourselves. We also learn that everyone is talented in some way.
There are varieties, of course. And not everyone uses his or her talents for the good of the whole. The thief has talent, but needs to reign in the base desire and use the gift for good. The jock might be able to throw a ball through a hoop, but must learn how to assimilate these skills into a marketable life.
After high school, the talents must either be used, or buried in the ground. Fear can be the deciding factor for many. But the one who uses even the smallest of talents ends up discovering that they are worth a whole lot more than first realized.
