What is the aim or goal of your writing:
I know the power of words and strive for perfection in my work. Children deserve the very best we can give them. My first goal is to entertain--make them laugh or smile. If they learn something along the way, that's a bonus. I value a strong work ethic and treat this like any other job. Get there on time, do the work I am hired to do, and give the customer what they want.
