Here is another treasure I have unearthed in the cleaning and sorting of the basement: my Disney nametag, complete with my “year pin.”
I worked at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT Center when I was young.
I was stationed, mostly, in the giant geodesic dome, Spaceship Earth.
And there, the whole world passed before my eyes.
It was the beginning of me learning to see people, to marvel over them, to listen to them and to wonder about their stories.
It was the beginning, too, of me learning how to talk to people, how to look them in the eye and answer their questions.
It was the beginning, in many ways, of me becoming a writer.
