Creativity Counts

Creativity is the use of the imagination or original ideas, in the production of an artistic work.

Creativity matters in education because without it we would have half the things that we have in this world today. It sheds new light in this world in career success and the growing belief that creativity is not just a personality trait, but a learned skill. More and more people agree that there is more to preparing for success in school than learning subjects.

We ca fix this by letting our students express themselves more in the classroom and assign more individual projects to let the students work independently and do what they want to do without other students interfering with their opinions.

My Year Ahead

Things I want to improve on:

1. I would like to make better grades this semester. In order to do this I would need to focus more on studying instead of hanging out with friends. I need to do my homework the day it is assigned and not procrastinate. By doing this I would have more opportunities to get a scholarship and have a wider range of colleges to look at.

2. I would also like to be more organized this semester. In order to do this i would need to go get a planner to keep all my papers and assignments organized instead of just being thrown around in my backpack. By doing this it would make it easier to find things instead of having to dump everything out in order to find one thing.

3. Lastly, i would like to manage my time better. In order to do that I'm going to need to stay focused on what i need to do and try to block everything else out. By doing this i can get what i need to be done  finished and have more time to do other things.
