Teen WM Associate on "General Hospital"

Just a nice story:

For the walk-on role, Kassie Crose of Green Bay received a paycheck in the mail for $286.53.... as Crose points out, "Pretty good money for only three hours of work."

Only three hours of work, but a lifetime of dreams and a literal wish-come-true for the 19-year-old, whose all-expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles brought the fulfillment of a wish granted by Kids Wish Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating happy memories by granting wishes to deserving kids.

The Florida-based organization... based their decision on the teen's long battle with complex cyanotic congenital heart disease. The blood Crose's heart pumps contains extremely low levels of oxygen, which can make it difficult for her to even make her way across a room without becoming short of breath....

Crose might be undecided about pursuing acting as a career, but one thing is certain: She will be somewhat of a celebrity Monday afternoon when she reports to work at Wal-Mart. "Everybody at Wal-Mart is really excited," she said. "They're going to watch it in the break room."
