I loved how the prose in this essay seems to bounce around but still sort of stay on subject as well. It also has a realistic child-version of the facts:
"Mom and dad say we will go [to Disney World] one day but we can't afford it right now. This is why it's so important I get started on my business."
What I love here is how these two sentences play together. Kids don't use complex sentences, they just state one fact in one sentence and then modify it in the next (when they need to). And I think this is a perfectly rational idea of how kids see the world. They want to go to Disney World, so they need to make money. If they need to make money, then they need a skill. And everything needs to happen fast! It's great.
