CreAtiVEneSs

Another lecture which was very interesting and helpful to figure out that everyone has some kind of ability, talent in them. The very first thing Mr. Rehan wanted us to do was to tell whether each of think that we are creative or talented in some way. So according to the responses the class was divided in to two groups on either side. There was almost 50% in either side which meant that half of the class thinks that they are not creative while the rest thinks that they are creative in some way and has positive thoughts.
I'm a person who always want to think in a positive way but there are a lot of times that I've failed too. But this time i took a step and went to the creative people's side because I believe in myself and know that I'm creative in some way. At that moment I was not prepared to give an answer to the question "why do you think you are creative?" but later on when Mr. Rehan wanted everyone to think of a reason as to why they think they are creative/not creative, I started thinking about myself to come up with an answer.

So after going through a rough thinking session in my mind, i decided to tell the class about my 'passion for fashion' because i'm the one who designs my own dresses if its being sewed. But then again I thought about singing because i believe that i have some kind of ability to sing and that's something i really enjoy doing at my leisure time. I was kind of afraid that sir would ask me to sing in front of the whole class when i was not at all ready, so i decided to think of something else. By this time everyone had come up with their ability or creativeness but I was still thinking of what to tell. Finally when sir was about to ask me one of the activities i really really enjoyed during school days struck my head. Announcing !! I used to be kinda the main announcer back in school and I've even compered in school shows all by my self. That was the best thing to tell so I told about announcing. Then again I knew that a question would come back to me because I'm not quite the "announcer" type at APIIT but the quiet girl who doesn't talk much (but non stop talking with friends). So I told him that I used to be a different person back in school, but I'm very happy because even after coming to APIIT I still got the chance to do announcing at some of the school functions. I really do miss my school life because that's the place which made me understand my talents and helped me a lot to develop them.

I've heard many elders say that there's nothing like school life, and I do agree with them because it was one of the best times of my life too :) But coming to APIIT sure did give me some awesome friends and a whole new experience ! :)

Coming back to the topic, at the end of the session I think all of the students realized that they have some kind of creativeness, ability or talent in them which they haven't identified but their friends have. For the people who still think that they are not creative, someday you'll figure out that you are creative, you just have to work on it after you find out what it is. Remember, everyone is creative !
