What is Smart?

         Hannah, Hans, and I think that Charlie thinks smart people are people without a disability. We think smart people are the people that try hard to improve. They are really driven and want to succeed. Smart people don’t always want to be friends with people with disabilities because they are different. Differences scare people, and they don’t want to be seen with people who aren’t like them. It is easier for what Charlie thinks are smart people to make fun of them, because they take things so literally. He thinks He thinks if you are smart then you will automatically have many friends, and be happy, but that is not true. People like Charlie are very caring. They notice everything about people and have the utmost sincerity towards everybody. They are kind to everybody even when they are getting teased. People who are really gifted and have high IQs might get really bored in school because they are so much ahead of the other students. The work is too easy for them, so they might not do it, then they get a bad grade, and then their teachers get mad at them, when they should be helping the student. Smart people care about what other people think. Charlie has many challenges in his life. He doesn’t learn as easily others and people don’t always want to hang out with you. People think he is different so they don’t want to socialize with him because they don’t want to be like him.
