Creativity!

Personally, I believe that I am a very creative person. I express my creativty through many things, for example, through dance, singing, scrapbooking, drawing, painting, organization, and through expressing who I am to others. I think the main person in my life who has inspired me would be my mother. My mother is a graphic artist. She paints with water colours and oils and is amazing at what she does. When I was a child I used to live in a neighbourhood with tons of children, so I had many other children to play with. Everytime my friends would come over to my house we always did something creative whether it was through painting, sculpting, creating forts with the living room furniture, or playing in the sandbox creating mudslides and rivers using the garden hose. My mother always gave us great ideas for us to try next, which inspired us to create things on our own.

Now that I'm older I keep on finding new ways to express my own creativity. Over the past couple years I have started scrapbooking which has taken up a lot of my time. I've created tons of scrapbooks with millions of photos and keepsakes from special events. I have also started to paint with water colours, but I am more serious about it now that I am older. I think that my creative experiences will help me in my future as an early childhood educator because I can remember back to when I was a child and what new and exciting ideas I wanted to create. Those experiences can take me into the minds of young children today and can hopefully understand their creative path.
