Confused on UC essay topic

So basically the prompt is this:


Every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side.

Things to consider: What does creativity mean to you? Do you have a creative skill that is important to you? What have you been able to do with that skill? If you used creativity to solve a problem, what was your solution? What are the steps you took to solve the problem?

How does your creativity influence your decisions inside or outside the classroom? Does your creativity relate to your major or a future career?


Does writing about what process we go through to coming up with a creative idea fit the prompt? I’m not quite sure what it means by expressing a creative idea… the only ones I can think of that fits me is drawing, but I feel like it’s overused. Any help?

I think that if you talk about how drawing has helped you overcome any sort of adversity then it would be a great essay! I wouldn’t worry too much on writing about something “overused” beause as long as you describe your own unique experiences you will be fine! Good luck!! :slight_smile:
