A Whole New World...
About the title, I work for Disney, so just deal with it. :)
President Hinckley's death came as a bit of a shock. but only because we thought that he was going to live forever. But upon reflecting and thinking about how he became the man that he was I thought to myslef, life has been pretty dang good to me lately. Considering the rather large twists and turns that has brought me to where I am now, I am living a dream, and it is amazing. I couldn't help but thinking that President Hinckley was just like any of us at this age. Trying to establish a career and learning where he fit in this life. I love the story about how, when on his mission, he was ready to give up and head home. This all whispered to me the greatness of this man, because he truly lived what he taught about, "being a little bit better" every single day. I hope that at the end of my life, I can look back and be satisfied by what I have become.
So, what have I become? A Disney employee! Wahoo! Actually, these last couple of weeks it is more like...blah...but that is only because I have been training on the front-line stuff that I will gladly be done with shortly. My biggest stress at this point is that I have to come up with a project to help improve the guest experience at the 3 hotels. That involves a very small amount of stress and pressure. (Did you catch the sarcasm?) However, I am confident that the Lord will help present a problem/solution that I will be able to go off of.
I guess the biggest adjustment I have had to make is in learning how to adapt to the California LDS single life. It is a lot different here than at the very concentrated land of LDS singles...being Rexburg, ID. It just kinda seems like everyone is here to do their own thing and it doesn't matter if someone new comes around. Oh well, I will just do my thing and do my best to break down some of those barriers. Hopefully I will be succesful!
Anyways, life really is good. Oh, I almost forgot! I got to do a walk-through of the Pirates of the Carribean and it was so amazing! Seriously, I hope to someday have a quarter of the imagination that Mr. Disney had.
