Some might think it’s childish but Disney has always been extremely special to me. Since I was a toddler I grew up with Mickey Mouse toys and Disney movie VHS tapes. I have also always loved art for as long as I can remember. It was only until after I had the privilege of visiting Walt Disney World for the first time in the summer of 2010 that I then realized I might be able to join my love of Disney and love of art.

Ever since Mike visited the Monsters Incorporated Scare Factory as a young monster he’s had this dream of working there and attending Monsters University some day. I always cry happy tears when watching that movie, because I relate to Mike in a big way. A lot of people laughed at Mike when he would exclaim his excitement over one day being a scarer, and that 's the same thing people do to me. They tell me my dream is too far-fetched, or because it 's related to Disney; too childish. My favorite scene of the movie is at the end, when MIke has worked his way up to his dream job. He’s already been working at the factory for year, but in the lunchroom or in the mail
