This article was basically all about the different traits and tendencies that creative people have. To be honest, I saw a lot of the things discussed in myself. It's pretty unfortunate that we don't stress creativity at a high school level because I would personally thrive a lot more. As stated in the article, some teachers may want their students to focus on the credibility and validity of their work rather than how personal or unique it is. While I can understand their viewpoint, I wish that more teachers encouraged this. It's really disappointing because for example, I would get marked down for focusing on being creative in my AP Literature essays. Eventually, I started to just focus on answering the prompt, which is something that Mrs. Dolbee drills into our heads from day one. I'm so used to writing and just answering the prompt that things like my personal statement for the UCAS application ends up being dry. I didn't always write like this & its' really disappointing that I'm not as easily able to make the statement more personal. I personally think that creativity is innate just as problem solving. Not every person is able to problem solve as well as others while some may not be able to harness their creativity as easily as others. During the personality unit, I learned a lot about myself and the kinds of things that motivate me. I am able to understand why I am so relentless in my work, but why I struggle internally with some things. It's interesting because some of the very things that I have realized about myself were in this very article. For example, the whole paragraph about being conservative and rebellious at the same time is very relatable to myself. I was able to find some sort of connection to my own personality in almost every numeral listed in the article.
