Rooms of Boxes by Ellie

Rooms of Boxes by Ellie - October 2018 Scholarship Essay

In my opinion I feel like everyone is capable of thinking outside of the box. Although many people think there is only an inside and outside; I believe that there is more than one box and only the average person is aware of “the box”, singular. I believe that it depends on the mindset and accessibility that the person has to see the box. I have overlooked this common box because of the way I think with the disability called dyslexia. I thought this common box was impossible to find, and that I needed this box. As it turns out the box that I was around was better therefore my ideas stood out amongst all others. I believe the dyslexic brain sees “a room of boxes” from a different perspective than the “average” brain. The individual is often told they think differently.
The outside of the box concept shows that there are no limitations, that the mind can wander and explore new ideas without ending in a dead end or corner. Thinking outside of the box lets the mind roam without worries or obstacles. A person who thinks outside the box is creative and when given a situation seeks alternative solutions that might be considered beyond the norm. In order to wonder outside of the box the.re has to be no distractions nor boundaries, and that is entirely up to the person. When you daydream thoughts may come to mind that could be a solution. One must toss around ideas from other opinions with openness. To succeed on thinking outside the box there has to be winding paths with determination to explore something new and open new doors to an idea of exploration that was unknown of. There is no such thing as a dead end. Ordinary people who do not often escape the box believe that they are not capable of finding an easy pathway out of the box. Others who are open to change cross the line into thinking outside the box which brings magnificent solutions because you never gave up.
