hiii dear

intelligence depend upon several things

it is by born itself and adaptation in environment
head trauma,, hydrocephalus, hydrocephaly, infection in infancy can retard growth both mentally and physically
it is also depends upon nutrition while gestation

so being above average or below average or genius is not in our hand
yes we can modify somewhat in our adaptions

so no need to look back
just go ahead and try learn as much as possible
now from this age you have to gain only
so best luck and work hard
thank you
