I have been thinking about the video by Sir Ken Robinson, and his talk on Creativity. I consider myself an artist and I can remember when I discovered this about myself back in grade 4. Through the years I had won awards, took pride in projects that I had worked on, and I even applied to the Fine Arts Program at Mount Allison University. The course was full but they would have eventually accepted me had I applied as a regular student. Because I was young and there was not too much emphasis placed arts. I opted to go to UNB under their Bachelor of Arts program, which unfortunately was not what I was interested in.
For some reason the questions that have been asked for this class, and that video has really made me think long and hard about what direction my life is going. I have come to realize that my interests are with arts, crafts and culture. So I have decided that once I recieve my degree, I would like to teach children about arts, crafts and culture. This is where I would be the most comfortable. And the children would benifit from my knowledge. It is always good when you feel strongly about what you are teaching because you're enthusiasm will rub off on others.

You are going to be a wonderful teacher and a true asset to your community...and lest anyone try and tell you that arts and crafts are not important, know that creativity and artistic skills will be some of the most important literacy skills in the new information age...
