I believe creativity is the true human essence. Just watch the children play. Every advance of humanity came from the open mind of someone having an open mind and the willingness to explore. Still, creativity underfunded, ignored in education, belittled, and wasted endlessly in our society. For future generations, the capacity to think outside the box, will be more important than ever as technology advances. For a young person to find his or her way, creativity and imagination are crucial for any endeavour.
