Recently, I was conducting a workshop at a rural Jamaican school. I asked if there were any gifted children in that school.

Of gifts and talents: What is your position?
I think that there are those of us who God has given the creativity, gifts and talents to perform various tasks within our lifetime. At times gifted/talented individuals may not even be aware of the task that they have to accomplish, but it is divine in nature and evident in the physical. the task is set before them and so the decisions they make is in keeping with the divine plan. It is rather unfortunate, though, that educators may miss the opportunity to shape and mold these gifts/talents, and more often than not, discourage these individuals.
