Many emotions happen throughout the process of applying, interviewing, auditioning, waiting and being accepted into the Disney College Program. Then after you are accepted, the anticipation to get there and start is agonizing. You start count downs and watch the time go by slowly. And then it's finally time and you're there! This poem explains the week before check-in and the journey down. This Is Our Time.
"This Is Our Time" by Missy Hargrove
It’s almost time.
I put on my boots and go
It’s almost time.
I’m in one of my last classes
I say goodbye to my professors
And to my friends
It’s almost time.
I pack my bags and boxes
It’s almost time.
The car is packed,
I go to sleep in my mom’s house
One last time
The clock rings at four o’clock
Friday morning.
It’s almost time.
We start the journey to Florida
We pass through hours
I see the Alabama sign
I say goodbye for awhile
It’s almost time
Hours pass and I see theme park signs
It’s almost time.
We arrive in Orlando
We go to dinner and then we rest
It’s almost time.
My mom and I laugh
At memories
It’s almost time.
Monday morning comes
It’s time.
We get dressed and head out
I meet my roommates
We cheer out loud.
It’s time.
Our new life begins now
We check-in for the program
It’s time.
We move into our apartment
Excited to see what our future holds
It’s time.
We start our journey
It’s time.
We have mouse ears on
We walk into the kingdom
And stop at the castle.
This is our time.
