Not just any mouse, but THE mouse. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You now live in a four bedroom vacation rental townhouse on the edge of the ghetto (otherwise known as Kissimmee) and have all of your time devoted to being scheduled at around the clock hours up to some unknown scheduler who more than likely knows nothing about your life but the fact that you are just another part-time employee for one of the largest and most successful companies in the world.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sad but true: you're more than likely just a number.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hello, and welcome to my life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My name is Corinne, I'm 23 years old, and currently work at the "Most Magical Place on Earth".  I walked across the stage in May of 2010 and graduated officially in the fall of the same year with a B.A. in Mass Communication concentrating in Public Relations after completing a seven month internship.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I love my job more than anything, and in fact it is one of the only reasons I stayed in Orlando after my Professional Internship at the Walt Disney World Resort ended.  Each day I'm given endless opportunities to create magic for people visiting from all over the world.  I work with some amazing people and have the support of an incredible leadership team helping me to grow both professionally and personally in whatever ways they can.  Every day I walk onto the property of a place where people save their entire lives to visit for just a day.  A place where children wish to visit before they die of terminal illnesses.  A place where dreams come true.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The only problem? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm only part-time.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My new adventure is to discover something I love and have a passion for, that also provides me with guaranteed hours (preferably of the full-time nature) and enough money to support myself...and to start paying back my student loans.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I feel like I'm in the same boat as most recent college graduates, searching for a full-time job doing something other than flipping burgers.  I want to "live the dream" and do something I look forward to every day.  I have been lucky to have that thus far, but unfortunately dreams don't pay the bills.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Is it possible to find the perfect job for you and get paid enough to still live the life you want to?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, I'm going to make my best attempt to find out. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I invite you to join me in my journey.  This is only the beginning...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3196766973638010820-5854765506648904955?l=corinnekellyb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://corinnekellyb.blogspot.com/feeds/5854765506648904955/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://corinnekellyb.blogspot.com/2011/07/beginning.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3196766973638010820/posts/default/5854765506648904955'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3196766973638010820/posts/default/5854765506648904955'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://corinnekellyb.blogspot.com/2011/07/beginning.html' title='The Beginning...'/><author><name>Corinne Kelly B</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04959774396101601076</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='14' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AvpQw-aKOWM/TjOV1VAsCNI/AAAAAAAAAQc/lZa49FU98gw/s1600/276152_39806452_2151192_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
