I would find a way to get the right answer by using unconventional methods because those methods seem to be more intuitive to me. For instance, during my sophomore year, I came up with a creative way to rearrange the variables to solve the logarithmic equations when the conventional way that was illustrated in the textbook and in class did not work for me. In addition, students are told to make connections between concepts and ideas in Science classes which can possibly complicate the learning process for me.

    We kill people who kill because killing is wrong. This is the idea some states use when people question their use of the death penalty, the execution of someone who has committed a capital offense. The debate over the death penalty is still alive and well, and those against it often use this argument to show just how absurd the death penalty is. Should those who have committed unspeakable crimes be sentenced to death, or is it better to sentence them to life without the possibility of parole, especially when using the death penalty is more expensive and runs the risk of executing the innocent Forty two out of fifty states have the death penalty as a potential punishment when someone commits a capital crime.…

    Even within Math and Science, creativity is required in order to grow and move forward. New ideas have to be created for the world to evolve, but with the stifling of creativity, and the creation of a school system where making mistakes can cost students grades, college admissions, and ultimately their future, putting new ideas out into the open can be intimidating.

Creativity is a defining trait of civilization and should not be…
