We have to solve our challenges with our creativity. Challenges can be positive or negative. It would be hilarious if people hired employees to make their lives easier. They would be losers for not trying!This article "Creative Solutions To Life's Challenges" is about Frank X Walker's mother made different meals with potatoes to feed her seven kids and she did everything in handmade with her creativity such as making his sister's prom and wedding dresses and making ethnic versions of same dolls to sell them at church fundraisers. It reminds me of my mom and how she has to find ways to earn money. My mom is jobless so she always make jewelry with beads as her hobbies to sell and successfully got her earning. My parents also didn't have enough money to buy tickets for returning to San Diego from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. My mom made more than 200 tamales that cost one dollar each one dollar for few weeks. That was a freaking' great idea! We were back home. She is a wonderful mother with delicious cooking and hobbies she uses to survive since we are not affluent. So am I.
As a wild child in Acapulco, Mexico, I made a hole in the red fence that I could talk with my young neighbor kid through a hole like we were Romeo and Juliet. I always thought of fun activities away from boredom; I was very visual. Such as I saw an elderly woman carrying a weaved bowl with fresh cheese on her head or a group of men shucking oysters with knives and squeezing limes on them before eating them. Sometimes, my mom gave me coins to buy tortillas and limes in a store, a less than one mile away from my home, and I walked there. Walked on my way to home, I spotted a green stick bug on red flowers. Everything was colorful in my eyes that I fascinated something out of the boredom--that was my creative solution.
That colorful life I had vanished when I was 8 years old because I moved to San Diego. This environment was different than my hometown. I cannot go out alone as a little girl unlike in Mexico, I would roam through neighborhood freely. I missed my colorful life. I would bring it someday. Right now, I am still learning about a reality world that is difficult to survive mentally. I have a limited freedom since I was not citizen or a permanent resident. That's problem. I feel like I am behind everyone who have jobs or driver's licenses. It is okay to learn slowly when I walk in the maze to find a door, linking to my success.
They say there is no shortcut in life. I disagree. There is a hidden shortcut like you can solve a paradox with your creative solution! Don't give up until you find a way to open a treasure chest with key.
