How a boy became an artist

http://www.ted.com/talks/jarrett_j_krosoczka_how_a_boy_became_an_artist?embed=true

This is a video about a man who became a successful author because of the support of his family and teachers as he overcame many struggles in life. He talks about creativity, imagination, and the importance of writing in school. He expresses the importance of art and education along with development of writing. He talks about how in third grade, the first book he wrote he would let the words tell the story and other times he let the pictures tell the story.

This video is an inspiration to me as a future teacher because one day I might have a student like this. I want to be a teacher who encourages creativity in writing along with the importance of illustrations. As teachers and parents it is vital for us to encourage and support the creativity of writing and drawing.
