Started the Cp and left

[Ylushi]

Has anybody else who started a college program and left early ever wish that they could go back again? I'm having a hard time deciding...I was on one and left after a month because I just didn't feel ready and didn't really care for some aspects of how things were done. Lately though, I have been wanting to go back more and more. Anybody else felt like this? I'm not sure what to do. I'd been very unhappy last time and don't think my parents would approve of me doing it again because of that. If I did I think I would try for Fall 2010 since I'm not currently attending school. Any advice or anything?

just wondering as a CP hopeful, what specifically did you dislike so much? was it just homesickness or what?

I started in August 05, and left in October. It wasn't until I left that I wanted soooo badly to return. It's kind of like that saying "you never know what you have, until it's gone". I'm sure those who have contiunued to return, can vouch It's just so different being in Disney, oppose to home. lol. I think now that you know what you're in for, it may be different.

But, I am trying again for Spring 2010, so we will see what happens. I was termed, because I left due to family problems, and didn't tell anyone. Which is no excuse, but I am still trying to return.

@ NicoleRose
I think it's so normal to be homesick, especially if it your first time away from home, but once you get down there, your roommates, and friends become your family, and soon you will be come homesick to disney

Also, is it just me, or does Orlando eventually become Disney, as if Disney is it's own city. hehe! (Well, it's big enough to be) lol

Good Luck!

Ylushi, weren't you put on the no rehire list for leaving early though???

 

[AngelNeedsMAGIC]

Even if you are put on the non favorable rehire list, it is possible to be rehired again, after 6 months.

It's definitely possible to get back into another CP. A friend of mine left after 2 months in Fall 06, and was back in Fall 08 and even extended into Spring 09 with me.

It was a combination of things, homesickness (although this was not my first time away) and I didn't care much for the housing or some roommates (some were awesome though and one a friend from home) and a few things on the program.

I was not put on the no rehire list according to the people when I left. They said that I had a very good work effort (never later, always happy and smiley, etc) that I could always come back to the program whenever I felt like it. I also gave some notice and didn't just say that this was the last day or something.

May I ask the situation. Was your friend termed? I left due to family problems, and stupid me didn't give a notice, and was ultimately termed. So, I was just curious. I've known a few people who were giving away free food, and got termed, and were rehired. So, I was praying that I had a chance. lol

Rehire status has a lot of issues. I was termed as a seasonal employee, but my managers loved me and said that in six months, I could come back. The only reason I'd gotten termed was because I was late one too many times (no car + crappy Lynx bus system = late more often than not). I'm planning on going back down once I become an RN and working at an Orlando hospital and maybe trying to get in as an RN at one of the parks.

It is possible to be rehired under almost any circumstance. There are a few that I know of where it's extremely unlikely, but for the most part, depending on what you were termed for, you can get rehired. Especially as a CP.

That gives me great hope!
So, we shall see!

haha yeah I did...I miss it now and get jealous of you Good luck with Spring 2010!

I left early too. I totally regretted it the week after I got home.. The heat really got to me.. I am from the west and it does not get that hot here.. also homesickness got to me as well. I unfortunently did somethings I shouldn't have like cry in front of manager...because I was really depressed and just wanted to go home.. I was there for a bout a month this time last year... I emailed the CP and they said that I could get back in after 6 months if I wanted to try.. I mean I might try again after I am school for a bit. Another thing, my roommate did the program a year before and then left early due to the same reasons I left. I heard that she ended up leaving her second CP early due to the same reasons..

I blame Patterson's LOUSY internet for not letting me go on facebook so I could find this out. Lol
I need to get into Spring o10 first...but thank you. I should find out next week unless my recuiter from last year is nice. lol

Yeah, it's something I'm really hoping for, too. I'm considering doing the program in the summer between applying for and getting into nursing school, but I'm not sure yet. It would depend on what position I'd get, and if I'm still working at my current job. Good luck, though!

I termed my cp about 2 weeks early because of school (and I had issues with roommates and I was just plain homesick) and my managers were all really nice about it- they told me i could come back after 6 months of continuous work- which wasn't a problem because I went back to the job at home that I have had for 3 years- and I applied to be campus rep 4 months after I termed and had no problems get re-hired... i guess it depends on how you leave if you have problems or not...
But it is sooooo true that once it's gone you miss it so much!! I applied to do spring 2010 because I really really want to go back! I'm hoping if I get in again that I have a better program this time...
