So she didn't "tell us" she is "brilliant and gifted."
She said she was gifted in the sciences and humanities both, and gave rather considerable evidence that this statement was not hyperbole--evidence which I take it, since it demonstrated her to be in fact brilliant, is what you refer to as "X told us she was ...brilliant."
I've had that trick of being mis-paraphrased played on me often enough that I can pretty much recognize it.
You don't think this is a brilliant person? LOL! Face it, just because you don't like her doesn't mean she isn't brilliant. Did I mention gifted?
Check out this resume and compare yours with it. I won't compare mine because it would depress me too much:
...won the President's Associates Award at university, given to only one student school wide, on a campus of 35,000... had a 4.0 in major, and served as a student representative to the Math Science Alumni Committee, ...was a board member of the ASB,...was a campus Ambassador, and President of the Biology Students Association, and Co-Chairman of the Math Science and Engineering inter-Club council...
worked for the biology department in both research and teaching capacities, etc... scored in the 99th percentile on LSAT...
Note that 99th percentile on the LSAT is 99th percentile on a test given to students selected from high-percentile scoring students, prospective lawyers. |
