Only The Beginning...

My Disney experience started less than a week ago, and already I'm having the time of my life. In six days I've done so much. I've met a lot of cool and interesting people from all over our country and even many from all over the world. Disney truly brings people together, and in my eyes it brings some of the best. I've already went to Epcot Center, the Magic Kingdom, and ate at Planet Hollywood, in Downtown Disney, which is where I'll be working. I have received a job at "The Art of Disney" which is in the marketplace area. It's all the way down at the right end next to the Rainforest Cafe, for those of you who are interested in coming to visit me. I actually put in a request with my recruiter to work at this store, because when I was little the only thing on my mind was working for Disney animation making movies. I was an art major for a little bit before I chose to take my life a different way. Plus most of those great movies are digital now. However, in this place I get to be around art and animation all day long. I get to watch artists in action and I get to study it on a daily basis.

I am receiving credits back home through GVSU, and have already began to put in work time for my classes. For one of my communications classes, I was instructed to set up a blog, hence the reason you get to read up on my life for the next 4 months, maybe 7. Another thing I will be talking about in my blog, is how I can relate my working experience to concepts that I am learning about in my 'Business and Professional Communications' book, so look for some interesting facts that ya'll (I'm already picking up some southern drawl) might not know. The other thing I've already got to take part in is a non-profit organization called 'Give Kids The World'. This is a program for people who want to volunteer to work with kids who's last wish was to make a trip down to orlando. It's an organization that Disney and many surrounding companys donate heavily to. If ya'll have heard of "Make a Wish Foundation," it's strongly comparable to that. The experience was amazing, and I will be going back, not only because a class back home requires me to, but because this was a place where I can go and just show love to others, strangers at that, and kids with terminal illnesses at that. Anyways look for more information on that in the days, weeks, and months to come. Looking forward to hearing comments on this and miss ya'll very much. I'll be posting again real soon.
