"Deep breaths," Mark whispered in my ear as he hugged me. "Deep breaths."

I couldn't stop shaking. I had the opportunity for a job interview with Pixar. Pixar. It was insane. The thought alone of working for Pixar was mindboggling. I had the chance! Right here!

The only problem was that I'd had so long to think about and prepare for this interview that I became more stressed about it than excited. My mind had gotten the best of me and I'd convinced myself I wouldn't get the job. I had the chance of a lifetime right in front of me and I could not see a bright side.

Mark put a hand on my shoulder, "What's wrong? You were so excited when you found out about this a few weeks ago." He was talking about when I first told him there was an opening and they were looking for new artists. And he was right, I was excited then. It'd been a dream of mine to work at Pixar since I was 10 years old.

I had already had an interview over the phone, and that went well I would say. After that, they told me they wanted to have another, in person, interview. That was two weeks ago.

The interview was today. In less than an hour. I was not ready.

"I'm sure they will choose you. They'd be dumb not

    As I walked into the small building, that in fact looked very enormous at the time, I began to anticipate every answer I would give to the person who interviewed me, so that to them, I would at least seem prepared. Although I had practiced my interviewing skills that very morning, I felt anxious and worried. Not knowing what to expect, many different scenarios ran through my mind, all of which weren't making my situation any better. Questions after questions were asked, all which seemed impossible for me to answer, and I felt as though I blew the whole thing. After the interview, many days passed by, and I had convinced myself that I did not get job.…
