Past:
My earliest creative influence was back in elementary school when I first started playing around with Legos. This was an important moment because this is the time when my creative journey started.
My earliest creative accomplishment was when I recreated a transformer with lego. Back when I was a child I was obsessed with Transformers and how they could transform from a vehicle to a robot. I created something similar to Starscream able to transform from a jet to a robot.
The one thing that stood between me and my creativity was probably my parents, as a child with parents who push their child to learn more academically. I slowly moved back towards my creative side after some time.
My interest is in technology, computers and robotics, I like these because I get to build, program and design what I want to create
In my elementary years, I had an interest in technology as how it works and how to create anew. This helped me realize what I needed to work towards and what I am trying to get good at.
As a child, I raised to be more mature at a younger age to interpret things that I needed for the future. As I worked at my family business at a young age, I became more attracted into business and communicating with others from other businesses. I produced skills in networking, presenting, etc...
I had obtained skills while working with physical objects like Lego, I used what I had original with the package but I tried to use those pieces to recreate something of my own. While I try to create that object, I find new ways to build and design it in a way I like.
Present:
Creativity is something that comes around and helps me at times but not always. I find that creativity is something I required when I am working on projects but not in daily events.
I find that creativity represents who I am as a person. When I create something that I deemed creative it becomes something that represents me on how I designed it.
At school I was challenged to create finished products with either a define design or something related to art. As I work on assignments that were given to me, I try to think outside the box to find a solution.
There were many times that I did not like what I was creating making it an epic fail. I rarely create something that I would call a success that I would like, reason being as I continue to learn the way I see things may change.
The highlight I find now is that I am moving back to the path I created for myself and moving forward from that point
Future:
I see myself still learning and incorporating new experience/methods into what I do.
After this foundation program I will probably pursuit into more of a technology field to expand on my physical creative skills then move back into more of a design field.

Conclusion:
I had some hard times thinking about what I should include in my creative Journey as I had many things that go me into my creative attitude as well as many things that had stopped my creativity. Drawing the illustrations for the video was the best part as I could something more like cartoons to express what I am trying to say. Overall I had some success in finishing the video.
