Week Six Growth Mind Set [Creativity]

       For some reason, this week really had me thinking about the importance of creativity. I think sometimes classes can be so structured that thinking outside of the box is almost prohibited at times. Which I totally get. Some subjects require that in order to learn. I think that at this point of our lives we don't really have an outlet to do that. We're always so busy. However, I want to make it a point to find my creative outlet for it really is good for the soul. It is uncertain how I would like to go about channeling my creative outlet, but it is not a problem Pinterest sure can't fix.
