Why I wish to be influenced by Walt Disney

First off, I already have been. I am a Floridian, born and raised. I frequented Disney World while growing up. I learned how to dream, how to use a map, how to have fun, and many other essential life skills from Disney World. I expressed that idea in the caption of a picture from my mini-bio on Walt Disney and copied here.

Walt helping me come to life.

Secondly, he made his dreams come true and left a legacy that has grown to means a lot to so many people. I admire the parks at Disney World and how it employs many people that have a hard time finding jobs- singers, actors, wild-life enthusiasts, animators, musicians, students looking for summer jobs, rollercoaster designers, etc. He inspires anyone he can to dream and then make it come true! He helps by creating attractions at his parks that allow people to experience their dreams. From my recent experience at Disney World I watched the "Flights of Wonder" show at Animal Kingdom and an animal enthusiast told us how they helped grow the American Bald Eagle population to remove it from the endangered species list. That helps expose kids/adults to the fact that they really can accomplish their dreams of saving some random animal from becoming extinct.

I want to be someone like Walt Disney in the fact that he accomplished an ambitious dream in a way that has helped so many people in return. The impact will be even greater as it opens a theme park in China and teaches them that their dreams can come true just as much as anyone else.
