Just moments before the interview was started, there were a lot of nerves going through me.  I am not comfortable asking and answering questions one-on-one.  To me, it feels like I am speaking in front of an audience, which I have never been confident about.

After the interview started, the nerves started to slowly disappear and I was more comfortable with the questions being asked. I was able to have some water with me incase my mouth or throat felt dry. Once the interview was over, I was struggling to remember what just happened. It felt like I wasn’t even there. I know I was because I remember how nervous I was, but I don’t remember what was said, or anything.

That probably isn’t a good sign that I forgot what happened during the interview, but I know that I didn’t hesitate when I was asked a question. And I know that I asked a lot of questions that showed I was prepared and very interested in learning what I was interviewing for.

My intended major connects with my skill set and career goals in different ways. Some of my skills that go hand in hand with my major, are I’m hardworking, caring, and dedicated to making kids feel as though the can be anything they want to be. This goes with my career goals because I intend to work with Walt Disney World and also with an organization called Give Kids the World, which involves working with kids who have terminal disease, the organizations is sort of like the Make A Wish Foundation.

Working with Disney World I know I’m going to have to always have an upbeat attitude and smile consistently, even when my face hurts. And I believe I will do well with that since it is, in a way, a job where you are constantly on stage. Since I am current in a performing sport where not only do I represent the University of Delaware, but I am to perform the show we were given for that season.

For Give Kids the World, I imagine I will be working closely with kids and their families, which I’m sure my intended major will help me acquire the skills for how I should talk to them and interact with them. Although my major does not teach me how to work in a medical setting, Give Kids the World is not all medical. It is a fun place for kids who have terminal disease to enjoy life the way it is suppose to be enjoyed.

I don’t really have goals for my career.  The only goal I have is a long term goal, which is to give kids a reason to smile.  Working with Disney World, I will get the chance to see kids look at me and smile because they think that what I’m doing is magical because I show I am a part of the park.  And being a part of the park gives the impression that I am part of the magic that happens within the park.  That’s my only long term goal that I have.  And I only have one short term goal, which is to be accepted into being given the opportunity to work within  the parks and give that kind of joy to the kids that come in everyday of the year.
