“Creativity is intelligence having fun.” Einstein


Hello,

While growing up, we were always told by our teachers to be creative. What we were doing was to learn specific facts and see what stuck in place. It was a turmoil for me from first grade until 4thgrade while a teacher was so good that she was able to make big changes in all of us, including me. The 3rd grade teacher made the school a semi prison and a lot of my friends rebelled at the things we had to do to learn something we were supposed to enjoy learning.

It, definitely, was my worst year that continues to this day as to how I had fairly ok grades, to “the worst report card in history” we were given E for excellence, N for need help, and U for unsatisfactory. Well, even after several conference with my parents, nothing could be done to raise my grades or not get bad remarks on our playground activities with other students. I was a terror in the class and on the playground. I made sports the main emphasis and was a good athlete, but the “get along with others” was not going my way. It continued until the summer of that year and a free play during the activities for that warm summer playground days.

Then, an afterschool playground director and his assistant came into the picture and helped me funnel my aggressive tendencies towards team sports with competition against other playground teams. Now, it was “our” neighborhood kids’ team versus other Long Beach playground teams and that allowed us to work together to be the best with everyone contributing.

That route was amazing and I flourished with the help of my teammates. So, in a way, learning to work with others to use our creative intelligence was the answer and the results were wonderful. That led into the 4th grade and the new teacher that took everyone to make them blossom with integrated activities, that fit our needs. Boy, did that work!

So, now, it was the turning point of being a “pinhead” to a person who could actually think things through with the help of others. It was a rough process, being in the 4th grade, but the report cards and comments were so much improved. That started the slow rise to becoming more involved with other’s ideas and together, it made school fun.
The Flathead sedan delivery allowed me to be a little different and make others wonder why that “thing” was parked out in front of our high school everyday and what weirdo drives such a odd ball car/truck. Ha!

In looking back to those early years, to the high school years and it all evolved into my final two years of college. Everything was starting to come together and meeting my future wife was the key to developing, either a thick skin to ward off idiot philosophies or adapt for us to get along with society. It has worked well to this “old age” era of enjoyment of life, to this point. YRMV
