The Magical Decision: Disney Internship

Before graduating from college, I wanted to do some extracurricular activity involving traveling. I first plan to make an exchange program to Spain. I went to the students advisor office, looked for the information, the prices, etc. I was very motivated with this whole idea until reality slaps me in the face: I needed financial support from my parents in order to do this.

I was scared and nervous, but I finally decided to call my dad and try to convince him about supporting mi idea. But my nightmares came true: he did not support this at all. He told me that I was going to waste a semester doing nothing...bla..bla...bla...I quit this dream, since I couldn´t go without financial support.

The other idea I had in mind was to make an internship, and The Walt Disney Company was going to make an info session about internships at school. I decided to go. Next thing you know, I received a call from the campus recruiter saying I was accepted!

This time I didn´t ask for my parent’s opinions and help. I decided to go no matter what. I needed to improve my English speaking skills anyway, so this was a good way to do it.

It´s has been over a year since I did my program but I´m still living with the consequences of that decision, bad or good. This is the thing about decisions; you never know when a simple «yes» or «no» can change the course of your life forever. After that initial «yes» or «no» response, you´ll notice that your life will turn into a rollercoaster machine, and you never know when you are supposed to get out, but you have to DECIDE!
