Sometimes I wonder when being unique and creative became undesirable.
When I was in first grade, one day the teacher gave us an assignment to color this snowman. But instead of getting to choose the colors, the snowman's hat had to be purple, his scarf had to be green, etc. I remember being so disappointed because I didn't get to use the colors I wanted.
Then there's uniforms. I really disliked having to wear a school uniform. I would wear a pretty bracelet, a cute pin, anything just so that I could have a way to express myself.
