what is creativity?

Creativity is your own personality to something that someone tells you to do. What i mean by that is if a teacher asks everyone to do an assignment he doesn't want to watch the same video with the same idea over and over again. What the teacher wants to see is what each student has to bring to the table and how they can make the assignment their own and make it fit their personality. How they can make it their own idea. thats what creativity is to me is someone's ability to make an assignment their own idea that also makes it interesting and unique while still meeting the needs of the assignment to make it satisfactory for the teacher.
