Creativity through the years – 1993

Over the next 25 posts, ending on my birthday, I will be covering an incredibly creative moment or idea from a year of my life AND one creative moment in either the marketing, advertising, technology or media world.

In 1993 my creativity took off, it was the point that I realized I wanted to try everything, test out tons of classes and figure out how things worked. I chose to go after the GATE program in my school district. The program allows a select group of students to take special classes of their choosing. The classes include languages, acting, performance (very different than acting!), creative writing, story telling, science, dissection, and more. I was accepted into the program and was so excited to get to take 3 classes this year. During those classes, I discovered how much I loved creative writing (not just writing in general) with a story telling class, that I would never be a vet (I took a dissection class…it didn’t go well), and that I may be a bit of a ham (I took a few performance classes). While those classes only lasted a couple summers, the lessons I learned about myself stuck with me forever.

Today, rather than sharing a marketing/ad event from 1993, I want to know what you remember most from that year?

And to make it even more fun…one person will win an invite to Google Wave!!

To win, think about 1993: Where were you? What were you doing (school? College? Working full-time?)? Do you have a favorite memory or a great story to share? Anything you want…Comments will be open until 12pm tomorrow, and I will pick the winner via random number generator….so get commenting!! :)

    1993 – That was the year I married my wife. We were living in South Dakota and I was going to college full time. I had met her the year prior after getting out of the Marines.

    For most of 1993 I was 12. It would have been the summer I grew my hair out from the “wedge” I sported in 6th grade. Nothing specific about that year. I turned 13 on Black Friday (this year I’ll be 29 on Thanksgiving Day). I played basketball and really liked math.

    I graduated from The University of Maryland at College Park with an Accounting Degree. I had about three weeks to rest before the infamous CPA review classes (passed my CPA Exam!). At that time I was an intern at The Pentagon, in the Budget and Finance Department of the 7th Communications Group of the US Air Force. Great bunch of folks I worked with there. It was unfortunate that the 7CG had to be disbanded due to budget cuts … such as life!

    My daughter was two years old and we were very busy indeed! We had annual passes to Disneyland like lots of the moms I’ve met through BlogCrush. She continues to be the light of our life. http://twitpic.com/pd9xg
