artist...maybe not

As a rule I am usually pretty self confident, but I have found myself getting down on myself when it comes to my idea of myself as an artist. I have never seen myself as very creative which I probably part of my issue. Everyone else seems to be much better at this art thing then I am. So, I guess my question is who can be considered an artist and am I an artist or just some girl trying to make it through something that is beyond my grasp. I am not abstract in my thinking and all of these teachers what me to be. I don't know if I will ever be comfortable calling myself an artist, so for now I am just an aspiring artist/photographer.
