Right in the middle of discussion about levels of thinking, I quickly chose evaluation as my level of thinking. I don’t know why but it just stood in my mind for a moment. Then after few days I started to contemplate again to what particular level of thinking do I really belong. I realized that I have already gone this far, and that would make me choose creativity as my thinking level. Being enrolled in the College of Information Technology helped me a lot to become the creative me. Why? Simply because I enrolled in a course where I really wanted to be and with that, I can be as creative as I can be.
All my experiences and achievements already proved that I belong to the level of creativity. First and foremost, because of chess I started to become creative and artistic. I have been playing chess for almost nine years without the help of a coach unlike other players who had their coaches in their younger years. Chess is not just a simple board game, it is a board game that requires high level of thinking and if I play it I play it creatively and I would always create an artistic strategy to manipulate the game. Second, the high school days improved my knowledge. I used to be inventive that time when it comes to projects, assignments and science experiments. Lastly, I know I am in the level of creativity because of what I have learned and what I have made as an IT student. I have been into graphics designing, programming, and most importantly I am currently studying web-developing. All these things, I have learned it all by myself. In a computer course, you really have to be independent to know stuffs. I used to create graphics designs without the use of internet materials and those designs; I really have to make it with imagination. In programming, I was so curious how a program is created so I also started creating my own programs even though those are just simple programs. Computer programming requires high level of thinking because computers require exact

    With the creativity test it looks at though I am at 54.94 and the typical is 63.6, I did not really have a clear understanding on where I ranked with the abstraction, persistence, connection, complexity, paradox, boldness, curiosity and perspective. The test did give the definition of what I was being graded on, for example for the abstraction this is in regards to the ability to abstract concepts from ideas, the connection is the ability to make connections between things that don’t initially have a connection. The perspective is the ability to shift ones perspective on a situation, the curiosity is the desire to change or improve…

    In a world where the mind is its own unknown universe, it is no surprise that scientists, philosophers, scholars and the everyday person try to understand how the brain works. We try to utilize as much of the brain as possible to get through the day. At every moment of everyday, thousands of neurons bounce around that tell our body to breathe, to move, to create. Creativity is a topic that many people want to understand and have difficulty finding answers. “What makes a person more creative than me” is a common question we find ourselves asking. Some may say that the parents that played Beethoven and other classical music when their child was in the womb is a contributing factor. Others say that at a young age, they were put in arts programs whether it be dance, music lessons or art classes. Many believe that creativity has to do whether a person is right-handed or left-handed. Regardless of what people think, studies have shown that it is quite difficult to measure creativity levels between different individuals.…

    In the short story when “When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine,” the author makes a reference about the holiday of Halloween. While living in Dacca he was a wealthy man, but when he made a drastic change by coming to America, it was a different situation from him. In other words, he didn’t understand the American customs. Halloween is presented in a way for Mr. Pirzada to see what American culture is like. He begins to question certain Halloween items when he said, “What are these large orange vegetables on people’s doorsteps? A type of squash” (Lahiri 34)? Jhumpa Lahiri constructs a contrast between life in Dacca and America. Both countries dealt with different situations or crisis and we must learn how to adjust to certain things. In this case, Mr. Pirzada is learning about the American holiday and the practices that go along with it. When the author mentions the family and Mr. Pirzada gathering around, she says, “He had nearly finished when the national news began. The reporter mentioned Dacca, and we all turned to listen” (Lahiri 36). We can infer that Mr. Pirzada is being reminded of his family back in Dacca because Lahiri states, “The knife slipped from Mr. Pirzada’s hand and made a gash dipping toward the base of the pumpkin” (Lahiri 36). In other words, Mr. Pirzada had finished carving the pumpkin and then the knife slipped from his hand. Mr. Pirzada was attentive to what was being reported on the news. The knife slipping is an obvious indication of something big or tragic happening because he is always worried about his family and saw the conditions of his beloved country on Halloween while watching the news. He became aware of the awful situation his country is dealing with. Adding on to that, Mr. Pirzada’s fatherly figure kicked in when Lilia was going trick or treating. He became worried of where she is going and with who when he says, “Perhaps I should accompany them” (Lahiri 38). He made a special connection with Lilia and realized she is like one his seven…

    During my entire life I encountered a creativity killer. The type of the killer that I’ve encountered are surveillance, evaluation, rewards, competition, and pressure. The reason why I encountered the type of killer of surveillance was because during in every classroom I had through my life from K-8, the teacher will always watch my classroom work not letting me to take the risk of being creative in learning. Another type of killer I’ve got through my life was evaluation because through-out my life I’ve always had other people judging on what I was doing, they wouldn’t satisfy themselves of me being myself. The other killer that I’ve encountered in my life is rewards because every time in my life when I tried to achieve a goal that I set my self I would always rewards myself with success. Competition Killer I’ve also encountered through-out my life because since I have played soccer my entire life I’ve always faced competition. Finally the last type of killer that I faced in my life is pressure because since I’m the oldest out of my brother and sister. I’m trying to set an example for them so I feel like I have a lot of pressure because I feel like I need to establish grandiose expectation for them. I feel that Creativity Killers do impact learning and creating in college student because I feel that they need to be free to learn and be creative to learn. Also adults enter ultimate state of creativity called flow in which whole absorption can provoke peak desire and creativity. I feel that it’s a mixed impact of positive and negative .…
