If you have yet to hear, I was not accepted into the Disneyland College Program for Spring 2011.
And if you truly know me, you know that Disney is my life. It is my passion and inspiration. My dreams and hopes.
But this dream will be on hold. Until next year.
--
I found out this morning through email. Although I am upset, I am not holding it against the Disney Company. No, that's not me.
I know that this was for a reason, I just have to trust God. There is a reason for this, although I don't know yet what it is.
So, for the next year, I will be continuing school at Taft College. I'm currently looking for a job, and have an interview with John's Incredible Pizza tomorrow. A company with the exact rules as Disney, so it will be practice for me, if I'm hired that is.
For my friends and family, I want to thank you. You supported me through this, you encouraged me, and you helped me. This has been a dream of mine since I was young. It will come true, just not yet.
Thank you.
In the words of Jon McLaughlin in the song So Close: "So close, to reaching, that famous happy end. Almost, believing, this one's not pretend."
I know I will work for them one day. Please pray that it will be soon.
Thank you for being there,
Austen Goehring ºoº
So close, and still so far.
