Reflection on How Schools Kill Creativity

I feel that school hasn't fully led me to discovering my passions. I feel our education isn't personalized for us, but for those who are able to make our education happen. An English class that allows you to discover your passions would be one that teaches us different aspects of literature while balancing creativity and student's own ideas. However, schools have done their part in proving extracurricular activities like sports, clubs, etc. for us to find ourselves within the school.
I think, we are able to find our true passions without the help of our school, however. I think to discover our own passions, we must ourselves, be interested in something fully or have the desire to do something in order for it to be our passion. For example, growing up, fashion and dancing have been my top 2 passions in life. I fell in love with being able to use my style of fashion and style of dance to express who I truly am as a person. Later, cheerleading, and playing the violin became other passions that I have and I think I found that out on my own.
