I have done quite a few internships during my college career, but one stands out above the rest. I took one semester out of my junior year to work for The Walt Disney World Resort. The internship was pretty basic, you work in the parks and have the opportunity to take classes on the side. Although the work was easy, what I learned was worth more than anything. The Walt Disney World Resort has thousands of guests per year. The amount of different people I got to meet and have conversations with was amazing. I learned so much about different cultures and lifestyles from taking five minutes out of my time to listen. But, I can’t forget the variety of people I lived and worked with. I lived with five other girls, two being from the United States and the other three were from PR, Brazil, and Mexico. It was wonderful to hear about their lives and learn that we weren’t so different from each other. My internship also taught me patience and the abitily to deal with issues. There was always a lot goin on at work and The Walt Disney Company has such high standards. Patience was key to keeping your temper down when in a stressful situation. Lastly, I had many networking opportunities to talk to others who worked within the company. They gave a lot of useful advice and I still use it to this day. I highly recommend any one to look at working for this company.
