I liked this topic which encouraged me to write about a creative person who I am interested in. People's opinions may differ about a creative work and a creative person, but from my point of view, adding a new value, finding a new way to live, leaving a distinguished reputation or a great achievement is a creative work.
I knew lots of people who did a creative work, but I would like to write about the dean of Computing and Information Technology College in our university in Saudi Arabia-Dr.Arwa Al Aama.
Maybe she is not well known everywhere, but she has been doing creative works in our university.
In her early life, she tried to join a scholarship program, but she couldn’t because in that time the scholarship programs in my country were for men only. She faced lots of difficulties in her life, but she could overcome them and become the best. However, she joined George Washington University in U.S.A, and she got a master and PHD degrees. She got many awards and certificates from GWU and from our government as well.
After she came back, she did astonishing works in our university. She changed some courses, added new courses and improved our computers’ labs. Also, she added a project for each course and each project serves one category in our society by developing programs, developing websites or developing electronic systems.
By this way, she lets students benefit the society by their projects in each course.
Furthermore, she lets them see and practice environment of works by sending them to companies if those companies have programming problems in order to recommend solutions for them. Also, she always gives suggestions to improve the computer science department which became the most successful department in our university.
Recently, it was transformed to an independent college. She also works as a consultant for many famous companies in our country.
She taught me that creative people usually don’t give up easily or early. They persevere and work hard. Also, they seek problems, find them interesting and see them as opportunities. She benefited me a lot, and I admire her works. I hope that I can work with her one day.

Hi Raghdah~
I like your journal very much!
Yes, I don't know your teacher in your university until you wrote this article.And now I am also admire her and her ontribution to your country.
I think I will agree with the difinition about the creative person because "new" and "different" are the two symbols of creation.And I also think creative person usually are very steadfast and they will preservere unremittingly on their job.It indeed has common between my point of view and what your teaher did.Just as you wrote in the article,a creative person cannot be sluggish because he trys to seek problems to find anything interesting and then hold any oppotunities.I think this is why he can succeed but some others can't.
I believe you can do it!
This person certainly sounds admirable! She overcame prejudice and worked really hard to get where she is today. I can't imagine what obstacles she must have faced along the way. I think it is important that we know about people like her so we can be inspired and can learn from their experiences. I must say that I found it a little curious that you don't mention her name - was that a deliberate omission?
Is there a chance that you can work with her one day? If there is, I really hope that you get such a chance!
Hi Eilidh,
Thanks for your comment. I added her name after Iread your comment.I didn't mention her name because I didn't expect that you want to know her name because I thought that you only care about the characteristics of people who we admire. But yes, I think that I have to write her name because those people are distinguished in our lives,and I am very proud to add her name in my blog.
Thanks Sara
I am so happy because you liked my journal
have a great time :)
