Imagine the time you are born and the time when you're a young child. You see the world through a colorful telescope, every color in your line of vision, and learning the world naturally through taste, smell, touch, hear, and see. By the time you enter school, your mindset begins to change even when you don't realize it. You learn how to read, write, and do basic arithmetic and those skills are necessary needed in the real world but what you don't realize is: you're also learning bad habits of conformity than creativity. You go to school seven-eight hours a day sitting in a desk, listening to lectures while begging for it to be over. Younger kids only get so much playtime before they're chained to conform again instead of letting their creativity shine. Tests, quizzes, homework, exams, oh my! Rote memorization, useless tests and quizzes you forget the second the teacher says "Times up", and homework when it seems like school was your full workday, five days a week and you just want to rest. Getting older means realizing how much school negatively affects the mind and how in the real world, nobody cares about grades or GPA. It's important to gain education but it should not be a one-size-fits-all approach. Everybody is different and we all have different mindsets with beautiful talents. Conform and obey the rules because that's what school has taught and what society wants right? Don't let them know grades and GPA affect your self worth and not being the best in one subject makes you feel stupid because then it is deviating and you're seen as dramatic or lazy. Creativity can't die inside you. Born with talent but forced to keep the head down and stay quiet because silence keeps everybody in line throughout a society.
