Sadly the virgo thing feels horribly true too often.
I just don't want it to be!
I'm sorry about your dad, that must have been awful for you.
But how the hell did it happen that you went to school two years to early and no one noticed?
Did you end up leaving two years early too, or did you do more years than everyone else?
You must actually have been ever so clever to have kept up with the other kids!
Oh, too bad about the Virgo thing. <grin> There are times I could do without the Taurus thing too. And all of those planets in the 10th house are also a bit much at times.
My father's death was one of the most important things that happened in my life, for most of my life. It totally changed who I was then, and colored my life literally forever. That is why I chose it as the best event to check the Ascendant out.
As for the age thing. I started school at a private school. They asked my Mother for the birth date of her daughter, and she gave it to them. But I'm not the daughter who was born in October, and my sister is over a decade older than I am. They figured she had made a mistake in the year; it never occurred to them that the whole thing was wrong. I have never known if it happened on purpose or not. No one asked to see a birth certificate until I was in public school and in the 3rd grade when the birthday I was telling people was different from the one in my school records.
And they didn't think I was smart for keeping up, because I didn't keep up until I was in Jr. High. They thought I was very stupid, and they let me know it. What really happened was that I developed a love for reading, and in Jr. High that was what mattered. By the middle of Jr. High I was reading on the College level and keeping up was suddenly easy.
As for math, I've always said that I can't add, subtract, multiply or divide. Calculus was easy! And it was. <grin>
I was 16 most of my senior year in High School, so yes, I graduated very early too. I honestly don't know if I was one year ahead or two years ahead, just that I was always younger than everyone else.
