CREATIVE EXPECTATIONS: PART 1 BY JAKE WOOMER

I don’t really know what to expect going into a class called Creativity and Organization. That’s not to say that I’m against creativity in anyway; in fact, it’s quite the opposite. I’ve always considered myself to be creative in one-way or another. That’s probably why I was so skeptical and curious going into the class.

For most of my life, my family, friends, and classmates have characterized me as the “creative one” and the one that comes up with the crazy ideas. I was never thought as the smart one or the leader, so creativity became of part of who I was.

The thought that my creativity was going to be judged and analyzed honestly terrifies me a bit. I would be lying if I told you that I didn’t mind being critiqued or judged. In some regards, I don’t mind at all, but when it comes to how creative of a person I am, I can’t say the same. Being creative has been the badge I have been wearing my entire life. Honestly, it does intimidate me that my ability to be a creative person is being judged and analyzed.

Creativity has been my big thing in my life. It will be interesting to see how this class will affect me as a person.
