You know when you have the perfect moment of enlightenment? Where you find the place that fits your personality and you begin to desire working there. You may acknowledge that it won't be your first job, or your second, or maybe even your third, but you know you'll get there eventually.
My dream job is Disney. Preferably in some sort of social media/publicist/PR fashion in which I can spread my happiness and joy for life to as many people as possible.
Ever since I learned to speak I liked to talk to people, especially when I wasn't allowed- class, detention, nap time in kindergarten. I've always loved to make people smile or laugh. Not just at me but about anything in particular.
I believe I can be creative and fun and still do a job with passion. When I was in 8th grade at St. Thomas School my teacher challenged us to make a product that encapsulated our individual personalities. We were given a week to complete the product and in Thomas-like fashion I woke up on the morning it was due and began my assignment. With about 30 minutes until the arrival of the bus to school I grabbed an Axe spray can (those were really cool then (2006)). I painted the entire thing with white out, it was the only available "paint". When the can was completely dry, I took a blue marker and wrote "ThomaKraft Happy Spray". Needless to say, the teacher was incredibly impressed and gave me full credit- spoiling me forever to believe that procrastination is good.
Ever since that day my mom has called me "Mr. Happy" for all my crazy antics. I hope one day that I'll be able to put that happiness to test at "The Happiest Place On Earth".
That little glimpse into your grade school days was pretty cool. It seems like something out of a Simpsons episode... minus getting the full credit, haha. That's impressive.
ReplyDeleteWanting to spread happiness is a great mindset to have! I hope you fulfill that goal!
I wanted to work at Disney when I was a kid too as an artist. Unfortunately, I've lost my art dream and have moved to marketing. Its great to see that you've found a place that you know you'll enjoy. I hope you have an opportunity to work there!
ReplyDeleteI love Disney! Not gonna lie, kind of forgot about the place until I recently watched the movie Saving Mr. Banks and instantly was reminded of all the blissful childhood moments I had at Disney. It really is a magical place where people can go and just relax and have fun with good friends and family. No wonder it's your dream job! I think you would be a great contribution for the business :)
