A Study on Narrative Identity of University Student Graduating from Gifted High School

This study discussed the essence of the psychological conflict the university students who graduated from science gifted high school and the experiences in the process of building their identity and the direction of psychological support for them. The gifted have a heavy burden of achievement. And the prejudice from others makes them lonely. And the discourse of the gifted in our society pushes them into an excessive competitive situation. The gifted are likely to lose their true self and reinforce their false self. Therefore they need the others who can accept them as beings rather than achievements and listen to the inner truth beyond the frame of the gifted. We should also encourage them beyond socio-cultural discourse. When the value of horizontal diversity is prioritized over vertical superiority and inferiority, they will be able to enjoy their own life while giving back the gifts from God.
