Disney College Program

In February I found out I got the opportunity to participate in the Disney College Program. I somehow managed to accept a summer offer so that way I could come back to school in the fall to participate in Resident Advisor training, sorority recruitment, and other welcome week activities. Just in the past two months I feel like I have changed completely as a person. I feel like working for a big company and seeing how I can be a part of a bigger impact to help create special moments for families across the country has affected me in a specific way that not everyone gets to see. I feel that during my time here I have learned a lot about my own happiness and what I value in life and it is very different from how I thought it would be. When I am at school I am always busy and doing something so I feel like I do not have the time to simply reflect on my own life, values, and beliefs on a daily basis. However, I feel like in Florida I have learned how to enjoy the quiet and reflect on my year, school, and my relationships with people. I think that I am in the process of figuring out what I want to do after college and part of me thinks that a future could be at Disney but part of me thinks I want to leave the country and travel. I think I want to work at Disneyland Paris eventually. I think my next goal is going to be learning French or another language so that way I can hopefully get some international travel in while I am still young and in college. Another goal I would like to work towards is getting an internship with Disney. While I have definitely not loved everything about the Disney College Program, I think an internship would enhance some of the skills I have already been working on and hopefully help me to secure a job at Disney after college. While I have been at Disney I have been taking many photos of the things that I have done and wanted to share a few of them here! There will be a brief description underneath of what is going on in the photo and who I am with. I am super excited to get back to school and see all my friends and advisors again and cannot wait to see what my junior year has in store for me.
