In most poor countries, there isn't even such a thing as "gifted" programs.

And those that do, there's so much competition that people in deep poverty can never join it, you'd see mostly lower-middle class people.

Perhaps leave the US, travel for a while and you'll see that the average US life experience is very different in comparison to the rest of the world.

And to wrap up, a lot of gifted kids end up never having the opportunity to study in a school or environment that catapults them into any kind of gifted program.

Just be glad you were born American and start comprehending that you are lucky, but most of the world isn't. The best you can do.
