What Does Creativity Mean?
Creativity: to me, is adding your own personal touch. I see creativity as the ability to incorporate personal interests and desires for discovery into a process working alongside outside influences to find a unique end result. Creativity does not have specific rules or limits, it can occur through endless forms of talent.
In other words, creativity can alter an existing idea or trend to make it one's own. Here is a popular attraction, which many people pose with for a picture (usually appearing to hold up the Leaning Tower of Pisa...) however this man's creativity puts a spin on the existing idea and makes it his own.

My Creative Inspiration
My personal inspiration is, and will always be music. Ever since I was young, I have always loved to sing and have enjoyed a wide variety of music. I took singing lessons for 8 years and participated in competitions and exams. Today I have less time to formally practice, however I listen to music everyday and sing along to all my favourite songs on the radio. Sharing my voice with others was a challenge for me since I was only comfortable singing for my family. Participating in singing helped me gain the confidence I still use today to present in front of larger groups. My unique hobby came into great use in both my child-based school placements as I was able to add music and songs into my activities. I plan to continue to use music as a great teaching strategy when working with children in the future.
About a year ago I decided on two music notes for a tattoo behind my ear. I used creativity to make my inspirational love for music more unique and personal for myself. The tattoo literally symbolizes my permanent love for singing and music in my life.
