This wonderful piece struck something in me.

I had to stay glued reading bit by bit.

Creativity has always been something I find interesting, but sometimes it doesn't come easy for me.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful content ma.

This is such a beautiful piece! Loved reading it. The part where you spoke about our teachers wanting us to quote them verbatim during examination is so apt. I remember when I was in 300 lvl in the university, one of my lecturers asked us to read any book - fictional or non-fictional - and write a prelude. I wrote it so well, and was very proud of myself. There was no way I would have imagined that my lecturer would fail me for it. According to her, it looked too good to have been written by me. She said I must have lifted the novel's actual prelude. I was quite disappointed because I sincerely thought to myself, you told an English student who majors in literature to get creative, but really didn't expect her to be "that" creative?

Everytime I think about it I still shake my head and chuckle. Thank God I didn't let that kill my creativity.
