The People with the Big Ideas

Well, I just returned from my Advertising class and I was truly inspired! We discussed creativity and the origin of it inside people. Not only was this subject very interesting but also the fact that we discussed the atmosphere of an ad agency and oh, how amazing it sounded! But back to the matter at hand, creativity.

The people who have creativity are the people with the BIG IDEAS. And greatly enough, you aren't born with creativity. Creativity is nurtured. You have to develop your skills and abilities to become creative. Dr. Gillespie also told us of the 3 Characteristics a creative person has: risk taker, divergent thinking, and sense of humor.

And so I thought to myself, where do I fit into this whole scheme? Am I creative? I know I have capabilities but I know I am in the growth stage. That is why I am super excited about this school year and all of the endless possibilities my classes are giving me.

So as this was a lecture on creativity, it was also a pre-game pep talk for me. This year I have endless possibilities to improve on everything I have learned and then some. I am so excited at the vast area ahead of me for me to fill!
