Arkansas by Caitlin - February 2016 Scholarship Essay

If I could have dinner with any historical figure, I would choose Walt Disney. He was very innovative. He was the man who created one of the most popular motion-picture production companies. Walt Disney lead the way into a magical age of animation.
Walt Disney's animations have made a huge impact on my life. It would be amazing to meet him and get to know the man behind the magic. He went through rough patches in his career but he eventually ended up being highly successful. I have much admiration for him for this. It would have been easy to give up when things were not working out like he might have wanted but he kept trying to improve. Someone can look at his first projects and then some of his last and see the progression that was made.
Besides all that he developed in the field of animation, I would simply love to meet him because it would be amazing to meet the man behind all of my favorite childhood movies and shows. Who knows?
If he hadn't pursued his dreams, we might not have the advanced animations that we do have today. It might be totally different. These are the reasons that I would love to have dinner with Walt Disney.
