Hi Everybody!
My name is Becca Christensen and I am so excited to be doing the Disney College Program for the Spring Advantage 2016! This blog will serve as the place where I will share with you my adventures during the six or seven months I am living in Orlando experiencing this program. I'll start my introducing myself and what lead me to do the DCP.
I am a Junior at Dixie State University in a very small town called St. George, Utah. I am studying Theatre and I love every part of my major. I just recently turned 20 about a month ago. I am the oldest of 3 siblings. I have two 13 year old brothers and one 12 year old sister, who for the purpose of privacy will remained unnamed. I am a born again Christian and have been so lucky to work with both Middle School and Children's Ministries since I graduated High School in 2013. My favorite color is yellow and if I had to pick a favorite Disney Princess I'd have to go with either Anna or Ariel. I love to perform and consider the theater to be my second home. I have played the flute for ten years now, though I would not call myself a musician. I can be very outgoing when I want to be, but I also have my moments where I am very shy. I have always loved Disney and everything it stands for and I am so lucky to have the opportunity to be a part of the magic for many guests starting in February. Disney magic is a very special kind of magic, and I am beyond thrilled to be a part of that legacy.
I'd heard about the DCP before, and yeah I was interested but never really interested enough to act on that. I had a friend on Facebook who decided to do the Fall Advantage 2015 program and through looking at her pictures and seeing how much fun she was having, I figured it was worth looking in to. While I was looking into the program, I read every blog and watched a ton of vlogs on YouTube and I just knew this is something I needed to do in my college lifetime. When applications opened up I was in no way shape or form ready to do the DCP, yet I still filled out an application. When I passed the Web Based Interview to a Phone Interview I screamed and was excited, even though I knew I couldn't take this amazing opportunity. When I got my Congratulations! email I had so many conflicting emotions. After thinking about it for a good two days, I realized turning down the DCP would be one of the largest mistakes and that I needed to do this. I accepted my offer and selected my arrival date of February 1st, 2016. I am anxious to see what this new chapter in my life brings. I can't wait to finally meet my amazing roommates and to be in person with some of the people I've been chatting with on Facebook. This is going to be the experience of a lifetime and I can't wait to get started. Only 130 Days to go before my Disney Adventure Begins!
