Accomplishments

my greatest accomplishment thus far has been when I made a little boys day by just talking with him about Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck for about 30 minutes. It seems like a small gesture but to that child it was everything and that is why I have always wanted to work for Disney.

What advice would you give?

If you have any interest at all in working for Disney one day this program is a great step into getting your foot in the door. I have already made so many connections here that can launch my career forward not just within Disney but other companies as well.
