Summary
On August 15, 2009 I was born with a rare liver disease called Biliary Asteria . As a result of this I had to endure many surgeries and many overnight visits at the hospital. During these times I had developed a fascination for Disney Animated films, since they had brought comfort and joy during these hard times. Although I received a transplant on August 1st,2011 this fascination has turned into an ambition to become a Animator and work for the Walt Disney Animation Studios. This ambition has pushed me to further develop my animation and filmmaking skills . Also my determination and transplant let me qualify for a Make A Wish ,which allowed me to visit the Walt Disney Animation and meet it staff including Eric Goldberg, Micheal Woodside, Amy Smeed, Dan Abraham, Austin Taylor, and The CEO of the Walt Disney Company Josh D'Amaro
