"This is aimed towards people, not just children/teenagers, but everybody. We've all encountered the 'smart people.' But what if you're one of them? What they call 'gifted?' It's not just rainbows and butterflies, it gets tough sometimes too. So I guess we're here to help, and even share experiences. You're not alone."~Samantha

To expound upon Samantha's statement, we want to create a place for comfort and knowledge, a place that we can all call home.... because no one should feel lost or alone because of how their minds work. No one should feel alienated.

We are Wanderers because we wander around, learning through trial and error as we move throughout our lives; and we are Seekers because, the moment we understand what it is that we are looking for, we seek it out. And throughout this journey of self discovery and exploration, we want you to know that you are not alone, that there are other people Seeking, other people Wandering.

So come, join us on this venture. You are all welcome to stay awhile! :')

Here I Am...

Well... Hi there! My name is Megan D'Souza, and I'm what people would call 'gifted'. Now, I'm not a 4.2 GPA genius or anything, but I am advanced for my age. I am entering high school at the age of thirteen. Writing and acting are possibly my two favorite things on the planet. They not only give me something to do, but they are activities that I really enjoy.

My future career choice is to be the Unit Chief for the Behavioral Analysis Unit in the FBI. It's not some sort of fantasy dream; it's something I am very focused on. I know that people say being in the FBI isn't like the movies. But I'm not in it to kick down doors or diffuse bombs. I yearn to delve into a mind that is truly criminal; to search for that one event or person that made this killer tick. It is a fascinating career that I have chosen to pursue.

Something you should know about me is that I am a child at heart. Of course, I'm only thirteen, but I just love being childish. (Not to the point where it's obnoxious, though; I know when to stop)

Sports and music are huge parts of my life. Playing the guitar provides for me just an escape. I lose myself in the moment and in the music that it's almost hard to keep track of time. Soccer is just amazing for me, because I have been on a team since the third grade. It is definitely my favorite sport.

(P.S. I'm terrible at writing conclusions. So... Bye!)
