In my communications course, I made a short film with a group that I believe was an excellent example of communication and creativity because of the need to organize and manage a group. The communication aspect of the project was very important to discuss and negotiate the different scenes and the overall story. We also had to be creative when making a storyline. In a group of four, we collaborated, communicated, and worked together to create a film. We all demonstrated that we could think creatively and communicate our ideas to each other. This is why I think this project demonstrated well my communication and creative skills.
Another activity that falls under multiple categories is my sport, hockey. When I play, it is very important to communicate, think creatively, think critically, and my personal responsibility. Like in any team sport, communication is a large part of being a capable team. Teamwork, different plays, and winning all involve communication and your and your team’s ability to work together flawlessly through communicating. Another important aspect of hockey is thinking creatively. In a hockey game, the most creative option is most often the best. Critical thinking is also crucial in a fast game where decisions have consequences. During the game, you’re forced to think critically about what you’re about to do and make sure it’s the right decision. Lastly is your responsibility. When you’re on a team, everybody plays an important role and has their responsibilities that turn the gears of the whole team. When you and your teammates fulfill their responsibilities, that’s when a team works well together. This is why I believe that hockey falls under all of these mentioned categories and it also shows that I am capable of communication, creative thinking, critical thinking, and personal responsibility all at a fast pace.
