The best thing that happened to me this year was getting a really big scholarship in may of this past year I worked really hard volunteering and running clubs and keeping leadership positions at my school
what kinds of things did you do
I volunteered at. the local hospital in the continuing care center in my town At first I was really nervous to go cause I wasn't super comfortable around older people and some of them had mental disabilities  which was really intimidating But once I started volunteering I instantly became comfortable with the residents there and actually became friends with many of them
what kinds of things did you do
I did all kinds of things I volunteered four days a week So on Mondays I would visit with the residents and play games and talk to them Often I would just listen them they had so many stories from their amazing lives So I would listen to them talk about their lives. Like some of the residents survived wars or were amazing artist or talented dancers I really learned not to take for granted all the knowledge and experience that they had
Thats so special and cool How much was the scholarship if you dont mind me asking
I don't really like to talk about how much I got. But it was enough o cover my needs for college for which I feel extremely blessed My parents told me that they couldn't afford to support me through college so I had to earn it my own way and when I found out I got this incredible opportunity I was exstatic and almost started crying' I had worked so hard and all my hard work paid off It just felt really good to know that everything that I had done was worth it
Thats an amzsing story
Thanks DO you have any passions
I love film
ME too no way thats so cool My dad is a film director so I grew up watching films and movies as a fmaily It was apart of what we did together Do you have any favorite movies
I lov ethe marvel movies What about you
Same! I love those movies too I feel like we are the same person I can't wait every year for the marvel movies to come out and they only get better it seems to me Did you see Infinity war
Yes it was probably my favorite movie of the year
I thought it was pretty good too I thought it was so amazing how they tied all the characters from all over the marvel cinematic universe And Stan Lee just died today too Isn't that crazy
Yeah it is He is such a legend
He created so many amazing characters He honestly is a creative genius. I don't think that there will be anyone like him I the future Plus who is gonna do all the cameos in the marvel movies He is always every movie and I just don't think it will be the same with out him
yeah i dont htink so
I feel like the marvel cinematic universe is one of the most amazing things in modern cinema A cinematic universe had never been don at the time. It was pretty brave for marvel to do something like this and it has really paid off I think that there are like 19 movies in total and they have made collectively made over 14 billion dollars and since Disney bought marvel for 4 billion dollars the investment has really paid off I guess
Yeah i bet Do you really like box office stuff
Yeah I really like analyzing box office data and trends I look at past records and projections often. I especially have enjoyed following all the records that are being beat It seems like every year a new record is being beat And mostly by Disney movies which is also crazy
Yeah it seem like disney has been doing pretty well lately
Yeah Disney has been doing awesome at the box office Both the marvel and star wars movies kill at the box office And they have been expanding in their parks too They are going to add new Star Wars lands in both California and Florida and they are going to also add a marvel area in California adventure
That sounds awesome do you like disneyland too
Yeah I grew up in LA so I had passes there growing up It was awesome that I could go all the time Now I live farther away and can't go as often I just love the detail and amazing effort they put into the parts to make the experiences as authentic and engaging as possible for a long time I really wanted to work for Disney as an engineer for the park attraction but now I want to do something more related to non profits. What do you want to do career wise
I want to work in the medical field
Thats really awesome! I wanted to work in the medical field too But I can't stand the sight of blood so I couldn't be a surgeon or other high paying jobs in the medical field I have also thought about being a pediatrician Because I love working with kids and pediatricians also make quite a bit of money The only bad thing is that you have to go through so much school to start working and making the big bucks Plus you have to also to do residency as well
Yeah but i feel like its worth it to go through all the school beacuse you cna make such a differecne
