Job App for a "Party Motivator"

Are you super fun, talented and maybe just a little quirky? Prove it! (this is where you say anything else to try to impress us)

Well, here it goes!  I love to dance...salsa, hip hop, I used to even been a professional Polynesian dancer and did paid Luau's and birthdays.  Plus, I probably have an unhealthy enjoyment of putting myself out there at dances.  You'd be surprised how many friends I've made by owning the blonde weirdo role.  Thank you Jenna Marbles!  I also like to sing when I get the chance and a recent dance performance reminded me how much I miss being on stage and performing.  I really am a people person and as cheesy as it sounds, I love people of all ages.  You can learn something from everyone.  I used to sing in an old folks home as a child and later went back and volunteered there in high school and I always came away realizing how much we all have in common!  We all start and end in diapers.  And while we're in our big girl panties we spend most of our time learning how to ditch the emotional pull-ups.  Like realizing outsourcing positive affirmation for pretty much everything we ever do via Facebook probably isn't the healthiest idea.  Or for my parents generation, recognizing that admittance of guilt to being the root of all their children's emotional problems is sometimes the only acceptable salve for a rocky relationship.  But the best is how most old people have really learned how to laugh at themselves.  These people know how to age gracefully!  So maybe my grandpa can't help but toot when he exerts himself and his hearing is so bad he doesn't know anyone else has noticed, but hey!  My grandma and I can laugh and know that we're not so different.  I'm honestly doing my best to accelerate that part of aging.  Let's not take ourselves so seriously.  Let's do things we love!  And that's why I'm applying!  I'm telling you that I know I'd be awesome at this job.  Why?  Because I see awesomeness and hilarity in everyone I meet.  And because dancing/speaking/singing/whatever in front of a crowd sounds like SO MUCH FUN.  And I am completely confident that I can get anyone to smile and have a good time.  I'm naturally, and therefore genuinely, a very friendly, ambitious, and fun person to be around!

I actually sent that in.  Woo-hoo, go me!  Right?  Or maybe just: Whoa there, buddy, lets scale back the intense attempt at a comedy sketch.  Lol, at any rate, it's sent and it was certainly fun to write!
