I should warn you that I am a very up and down person and this blog is to help me vent and get advise from others. I also want to share a part of me with the world.
So let's begin!
I am currently 21 years of age and I have a a bit of an obsession with disney(<- putting it mildly so you won't go running for the hills). I used to live in Burbank, California which is the headquarters for the disney company. When I was in high school almost all of my essays would be about the disney company so I have some extensive knowledge that I am currently brushing off on. I now live in another state and I now have the disney blues. It's a real thing.
For awhile I have been undecided at college because it's such a definite decision. Whatever I choose will be what I do for the rest of my life. Let that sink.
My parents wanted me to go to school and get a technical degree so I can start making money. I went for a semester for paralegal. There were a couple of bumps (2 years worth of bumps) that wouldn't let me go back to school so I began to work at a pharmacy that pays for the nationals test. It usually takes 2 years to get this license so I am pretty lucky to have this opportunity but again. It's not what I want to do. My parents were very frustrated with me.
Within the 2 years of working and trying to figure out what career I want to do I did some book reviews with Indie authors. I love to read! It was during that time that I pondered on being an editor or a publicist. I wanted to work with a publishing company and not just any publishing company, the disney publishing group. It was a pretty narrow path. I took a break from reviewing because of some drama that was getting really messy between indie publishing companies.
A few months later I was planning my first trip to Disney World and I was ecstatic. Constantly on the computer. Researching four hours on end. I became a Disney World genius. I found an agent thinking maybe I missed something and she could tell me something cool to do there but nope! I pretty much knew everything she said. I kept up more with the news than she did. So maybe becoming a disney agent? I sent my resume to 2 companies and 1 said she didn't have enough room and the other never replied back. I was heartbroken because this was window to working at home and doing what I love. That window closed and curtains shut leaving me in the dark.
On my Disney vacation we participated in the Behind the Scenes tour which brought another branch of disney into light for me. I had no idea that they were innovating in so many categories. It only made me admire the company even more. When I got back home I really wanted to work for Disney. I applied for the disney store but it's 2 hours away from me and it's the only one in the city. Another window closed
Throughout this whole time I have been trying to get back to school, getting my papers in order, begging my parents for help, and finally 2 1/2 years later I was back. I had to figure out my major so I went onto the disney website to see the careers they offer and read the responsibilities. I knew I wasn't artistic enough, i'm also not into filmography, but I am pretty good with business. BAM! I am majoring in marketing/business. Done deal.
I made my 4 year plan. I am a full time student and employee. I need the money in order to go to school. I need school to make it to my dream job. >_< There are days where I just want to call off or not do a reading for class but then I look at my disney globe that sits on my desk and I am reminded that this is only temporary. I will soon be doing what I love.
