How creativity effects my development

Being creative isn’t always the easiest thing for people. As young kids we were encouraged to be creative and “think outside the box”. But,as we got older,we were told less and less to be creative. As you go into the real world you need to be able to be creative to solve problems. I have personally always been a very creative person even as i got older. But,lots of teens and adults just aren’t. Creativity effects MY development because going into the real world I will need to know how to solve problems and think outside the box
