A Year's Journey...

By Zach Cooper
One year ago from today, our lives became a little bit brighter. July 8th, 2013- Disney announced the Optimist game through the Disney Parks Blog, D23 and other sister websites. We then were linked to Amelia, who explained her situation and hopes for the next few months. Days later we were informed of the Lott Family Construction Company and also Tanya (Amelia’s mom). Soon after that we were introduced to a curious character, Wallace, who hooked us up with many adventures throughout Los Angeles. It all culminated at the D23 Expo, with a full booth for Wallace and his friends to inspire us some more. Finally, we met Tanya in person, her tears of joy spreading to all of us watching. Then in September we all got to see the finished product: a 9 minute documentary of us and the journey we took, along with the relationship she expanded on with her mother. How did this experience we all took impact our daily lives? Why did so much of us have such a special connection? Explain in the comments below…..

In honor of the day, the whole blog will be converted into "Optimist Blog". This will be the holding place of Optimists and their thoughts.
