Reflection #6


            I will be the first to say it, I don’t think I am the most creative person out there. I am not a writer, a poet, or a really good artist. My creative ideas don’t flow out of my mind by the minute but the time that they do is when a situation or a problem are put forth on me.  As a child I was very introverted so I rarely voiced my opinion or spoke to others, but the benefit of this introverted-ness was that I had a lot of time to think and imagine. While others at age nine were playing games and being social, I thought about the meaning of life. This deeper thought  process helped me to understand the world around me and see patterns in people without even talking to them. By understanding people and their patterns I was able to see connections and by observing these connections I was able to help others. I cannot think of a particular example of when this happened but my family would describe me as a very helpful and creative individual.
In my adult life, I have been great at problem solving in all my classes, but recently not in a class I found myself working at my fullest. The time when I found myself working at my fullest was during my preparation for Moot Court. After reading each case I found myself debating why each case was wrong and what were the good points about them. I tried to use only the good points in my argument but with the bad ones I learned to argue around them. This took a lot of creativity and forced me to think outside of the box.
One superhero that is very creative is Tony Stark. Tony is captured by a terrorist group in the first Ironman movie. After he is captured he lies to the leader and told him he will build a weapon for him. Instead he builds his first Ironman suit and decimates the terrorist group. If that is not thinking on your feet then I don’t know what is!
