I was fortunate to be in Destination Imagination for my sophomore and junior years. I wanted to do it my senior year, but I didn’t have the time since I was going to graduate with an Associate in Art degree along with my high school diploma. At first, all DI meant to me was being in an extracurricular activity; however, as time went by, it meant way more than that. It meant a place where you could express your ideas and creativity. A place where you got closer to your teammates and really became close friends with them. A place where you created memories of laughter, and eating pizza a lot. However, my favorite memory of DI was going to Global Finals in Tennessee. Participating in Globals was really exciting, fun, and challenging. I thought that we were going to win, but in reality, we went to learn and to be better the next year. It was a lot of time and work, but I do not regret any of it. DI has affected me by allowing me to be more open and more confident in the ideas that I come up with and not to be afraid of making mistakes. This is how creativity forms.
