                -Samantha Price"I had the opportunity to live in Orlando and work for the Walt Disney Company. It was one of the most life-changing experiences I've ever had and it really challenged me to become a well-rounded employee. Plus, when I wasn't working and providing excellent guest service, I got to hang out with some of the coolest mice around and end my days with fireworks in the parks. I wouldn't have made it into this highly competitive internship without the skills learned during my time at OSU and in the Honors College."
