WALTER ELIAS DISNEY “ Young movie maker” By Christopher Afuso

Introduction The person I chose for my biography is Walt Disney.I chose Walt Disney because if he didn’t make Disneyworld most families wouldn't be able to ride on the rides and visit cool sites. I also chose Walt Disney because if he didn’t create Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck etc, Most kids in the 1920’s and 1930’s and now wouldn't be watching Mickey Mouse or any other characters. Some struggles Walt Disney had to go through was he had to find a job when he moved to different places.Another struggle he had to go through was he had to find an education after he got kicked out of ninth grade.
