As a programmer, I’m very aware that there are dozens… hundreds… of ways to be exceptional. And I’ve written programs that display the exceptions… alas.
Youngster has yet to realize that she is ahead of the game. She has set a high goal and sounds as if she will persevere until she gets there. A winning combination.
I think the key to being exceptional is putting your ego aside and looking to find the exceptional elsewhere, then loving it and working for it with all your heart. And while I love reading books, you have to DO things.

Depends on the books you read. You’ll either become exceptional or be able to figure out who-will-do-it in ten pages.

For that split second I thought we saw Mrs. Olsen back in the day, but miss Plainwell didn’t time travel. (did she?)

We are all exceptional at being ourselves.

I’ll settle for being “normal”, thank you very much.

The word “exceptional” is a modifier. Not automatically a positive since you can be exceptional at heinous things too. Just a reminder.
