Dreams Really Do Come True


"Tomorrow will be better for as long as America keeps the ideals of freedom and a better    life. " 
                    - Walt Disney

It's been just a little over a year since I got back from my trip to Walt Disney World with my family. I remember talking to my dad about how awesome it would be to work there. And how to be able to work there, we couldn't think of any other job I would need. I came home and started looking at their job openings. I love photography and have always dreamed of doing something with photography. I had no luck getting a job straight through the openings. At that time I was just ready to get back on my own. I returned to school in March after being out for a year and a half.

Well, here I am sitting here as I live and breathe with some pretty exciting news. On February 8,2013 I applied to the Disney College Program. The Disney College Program is a paid internship where you get live just a few miles from Walt Disney World in their housing. And you are given the opportunity to live and work with people from all over the world. I had my phone interview on February 16. Just one week after I completed my application and web based interview.The wait from the time I completed my application until time for my phone interview felt like so much more than just a week. There was nothing I could but wait after that point. Just wait for a response. My response came four days later. Those four days felt longer than the week between submitting my application and having my phone interview. On February 20th my response came. I had gone to lunch with my family at our favorite cheeseburger place in town. I came home from lunch and I finally had an email from Disney. I got accepted!!!!

I've sat down to write this update at least three previous times. Words just can't do it justice. I can't tell yall how excited I am. I'm so beyond thrilled to venture out on this new journey and see what God has in store for me next. Oh my goodness!!!!!! I'm moving to Disney World. This is just the beginning. Growing up is exciting and scary at the same time. The scary part is when I add up the expenses and the income. I know I'm going to be pinching pennies for a little while. But that's okay. You gotta start somewhere and work your way up. Not everybody can start out on top. I will do my best to keep yall updated on everything at Disney.

Please keep me in your prayers as I take a leap of faith and start the next chapter of my life. :)
