Goals: Keep Moving Forward

Since my senior year of college, I have become pretty obsessed with old photographs, newspapers, and any other type of archival pieces. It all started when I took a history of photography class in college; my professor was "on loan" from the Smithsonian to teach the class. I have never wanted to take a class over again but this class made me want to because I loved it so much! I feel like I actually learned something that I actually wanted to learn and know more about.
Going to art school it is required to take a couple art history classes; they were wonderful and everything but they never spent too much time on photography or they didn't teach anything about the art. So this class opened up my eyes to a all new form of photography and where it started and who thought up this fantastic piece of art that so many people use today in their day to day lives.

Where I hope to someday get in my life is the Disney Archives. Can you imagine working with photographs and old pieces of disney history that started the Walt Disney Company from the beginning?! I can't even describe how amazingly happy that would make me.

I was working at a certain location the other day where I could see the Partners statue. As cheesy as it sounds, I got teary eyed. Dang it, Walt! This man had so many dreams and goals that he accomplished in his life time and now he has a team of people that are continuing to live out his dream for him. I play a small part in that dream because I am helping create the magic that he wanted all cast members to accomplish for years to come. 

This step of my life with the Walt Disney Company is just a small stepping stone. It may be hard because of obstacles that stand in the way for long periods of time but that's helping me grow stronger as a person and cast member to get me where I want to be in my life with this amazing company.
