My Career Journey officially began through the Disney College Program Fall 2018. The disney college program has been filled with so many challenges and sometimes it seems so unreal. I look back to how scared I was at the start of the program about three months ago, and I can’t believe how much I’ve grown. As I look into the future, the most important thing I take with me is the notion that “I can do it.” As cliche as that may sound, I didn’t think myself capable of closing beverage island in the span of a couple of hours. The things that seemed daunting before are more manageable now. This notion that things will get better, I can get better, and I can do it, is so important to me because half of the battle I face is how hard I am on myself. Disney has given me more confidence. Perhaps is because of the many mantras written on the walls, because they give us seemingly impossible tasks and expect us to get it done, but disney has definitely taught me to believe in myself and my abilities. In the future when I get a new job filled with daunting tasks and impossible work, I will think about the holidays at Port Orleans French Quarters and know that I can get through it.
