School was hard for me. If there had been a school for the creative arts, I might have thrived, but... I needed that creative outlet so much. Also, I'm just bad with numbers.
I think the arts are absolutely necessary for children to be creative and express themselves because every child is different.
Students can't leave their lives at the door when they come to school. They bring with them whatever is going on at home and in their communities. Poetry and theater provide an outlet for students to express themselves and process what they're going through.
I realized after writing songs for years how important it is. Whether it provides a living for me or not, that creative outlet is something I need.

There are many things I love about my job! For instance, as a creative outlet, there's no better way to express myself than through choreography and physical movement.
At an early age through the arts, I was fortunate to find an outlet to learn & apply, express myself, create, develop a positive image of myself, and a feel of importance, and significance to the world.
In Greenville, we were blessed to have lots of youth arts programs. I changed middle schools to go to an arts middle school. Then, when high school came, I went to normal high school for a little while before auditioning for the Governor's School for Arts and Humanities.
Everyone must live, and everyone must express themselves, and must express themselves in the way of their karma.
The art of dancing stands at the source of all the arts that express themselves first in the human person. The art of building, or architecture, is the beginning of all the arts that lie outside the person; and in the end they unite.
Acting runs through my blood. There is some sort of creative desire to express myself and I would need that outlet. Otherwise I would be a nightmare to live with
I'm a person who needs to keep working in a creative chakra all the time. That's what provides me with energy.
