An autobiography is the story of one’s life as written by oneself. Most autobiographies are told from a first person point of view. When writing an autobiography, you focus on three major things: who you are in life, what life means to you and what your outlook on the future is.
Following the example , write your own story. Good luck!

AN EXAMPLE OF AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY
I was born on a warm, sunny day in June in Sarasota, Florida. I still live in Sarasota, Florida, and I go to school at Booker High School. I live with my mom,Kate; my brother, Jake; and my Aunt Molly. When I was born, my bother was fifteen-months-old and hid under the table from me. Jake is a sweet kid and he would do anything for me, but like all brothers and sisters we fight like cats and dogs. Sometimes when no one was around, Jake would come up to me and bite my toes for no reason. I still love him but only because he is my brother.
Who I am in life.
My name is Sally Friday. I started school when I was six-years-old. I went to kindergarten through fifth grade at Booker Elementary and while I was there, I won an award for perfect attendance. I also won an award for honor roll all four terms. Then I attended Booker Middle School, and there I also won a couple of awards: one for perfect attendance and two for being named Student of the Year--one in sixth grade and the other in eighth grade. I am now a senior at Booker High School. I plan on finishing school and maybe going to a community college.
What life means to me.
Life to me means friends and family who you can trust and who trusts you. I am pretty much on the happy side of life, but like all teens I do I have my "days of." That means I do have some sad days or depressed days. I have a few frinds here that sort of look out for me and when I am having a bad day, I have someone here at school to talk to. I make my school days go by thinking of either the next hour or what I will do when I get home or on the weekend. I'm not seeing anyone now but when I did have a boyfriend, our favorite places to go were the movies and out to dinner. Sometimes we went to the beach. Only once we went to an amusement park: Universal Studios. We were together for twenty-nine days and then we broke-up; so no, I don't think it was forever.
What's my outlook on the future.
The year 2018 will make twenty years since I graduated from high school. I think I will probably be still living here in Sarasota. I will be quite comfortable with my living situation, meaning that I will be married to Paul Smith. We will have one child: Linda Treasa Smith, who at that point will be three-years-old and a little devil. Paul is a sweet guy; he will do anything for anyone. He is six feet tall and built well. He has baby blue eyes and blond hair. We will have been together for five years and will be happy together--this is forever.
Conclusion
As I said in the beginning, I was born here in Florida and I've lived here my whole life. I would like to see more of the USA but unfortunatly, I don't have any money to leave Florida to go anywhere right now. I hope you have enjoyed reading my life story as much as I have enjoyed writing it for you. Try to get as much as you can out of school; you're only there for twelve years and when you graduate, you're home free. Here's a tip for you to live or try to live by: If you think it, it can be done.

To begin, I reallly can't remember many things from my childhood, I'm always having a hard time trying to bring up memories of my early years. But, in general aspects I can say that I was born on a typical family; Mom and Dad, one sister and a dog.
ResponderEliminarI was rised in the big city of Santiago, in a township called El Bosque. I attended to a public school which was located two blocks far from my house. I spent 2 years there, then I attended to another school, a little bit further, I spent the rest of primary school there. Then I studied secondary school in an industrial highschool, I studied there for two years, but I decided not to take an industrial career, so I signed in other school. I finished highschool there and managed to make my way to university. Now I'm studing English Teaching at UAS. I'm looking foward to finish my career and start working at school. I'm planning to get another an upper grade and manage to teach in a University or an Institute. I'd like to have my own apartment in a few years.
If I had to define life in my point of view, is a travel, in which you meet lot of people and learn new things every single day. As I see it, life is also the joy, enjoy little and big things life can give you, and things people can give you too.
Life is also about the future, about planning things and see how them turn up in the end.
Life's is everything you do, and everything you are.

ResponderEliminarWho I am in life
My name is José Miguel Jara, when I was 5 years old, I started the kindergarten, my mother and my grandmother took me to my first day of class. I was so nervous because I was going to meet new people and new friends.
In primary I changed the “San Marcelino School “and I was there since primary to the high school
I studied business driver in the High school and I did my practice in the municipality.
Now I am 19 years old and I’m in the 2nd year studying English pedagogy.
What life means to me
Life means to me an opportunity, and nobody must waste it, even if you don’t know what to do. With your actions you can change a lot of thing, for instance, with any relationship that you have in any aspect such as: job, familiar or friends, you can mean something for the other people, even if it is for good or bad.
What my outlook on the future is.
In three or more years I will leave the university and I will start to work as a teacher, after that I would like to study some connected with foreign trade.
Actually I’m not wondering about me future now, I trying to live the life as it comes to me.
I was born in August 5, 1990. I go to the Autonoma University. I live with my mom, dad and sister, My relationship with her being currently hampered: she has issues related to her age.
ResponderEliminarWho I am in life.
My name is Mario González. I enjoy communicating objective information, but do not feel this way about intra-personal relationships as I feel they do not follow this logic. For most of my schooling I studied in an establishment named “Jose Donoso”. I do not keep memories of that time.
I’m currently in my third semester with an efficient performance. At the beginning I had to adapt to college live but I overcame that stage. I do paper crafts and I design clothes. I’m also looking for employment, with no enthusiasm at the moment but I’m working on it.
What life means to me.
Life to me means survival instinct and accomplishments: You wake up, get up, eat and move because your body asks for it, and then you go and try to be the best at what you do. Following that logic I prefer to stay away from social activities which distract you from your goals and have no connection whatsoever with accomplishing them. I also believe that life is about yourself and the amount of power and wealth you can gather. People are a means to an end: it is not wrong to use someone as long as you’re getting a service in exchange.
Basic needs are the first thing to fulfill: economical stability, the rest is secondary.
I’m also very ambitious and I believe family is just a bi-product of entering the world.
What's my outlook on the future.
A couple of years from now I expect to be working as a teacher to pay my debts and gather enough money to pay for more studies so I can be the best that I can. I planned to live in the centre of Santiago, I will probably be living there with someone, mainly for the money, as paying a rent and paying your debts at the same time can be quite a feat, not to mention bills and groceries. All in all I expect a professional life full of work and study.
Conclusion.
We are conditioned by the environment as a conditional evolution of species. I do not intend to generate breakthrough ideas in my paper. Only once when my work is corrected they may I take in account their real impact.
In other words: I live in reality.
I was born on the winter of 1991, the last week of june, in santiago of chile. Now i'm 19 years old and i'm still living in santiago, in la granja township.
ResponderEliminarMy name is Viviana Belmar and i have 2 brothers and a sister. I live with them and my parents, Ana y Julio and my little cat, who was caught by my boyfriend and gave it to me like an aniversary gift.
Nowadays, i'm studying english at the university, because i always wanted to learn a foreign language and because i want to be a teacher. I think it would be a good oportunity to make the life more interesting, because it profession give you the necessary materials for know new people and help them, and mean something for or leave a footprint in their lifes.
In the future i want to study antoher language such german or french and do some specializations on english. I want to get married with my actual boyfriend and forma beauty family.
I think that life is make happy to others, not only people that we love, all people we meet in the future...love, i think is the best way to take advantage of life, and like jesus love to others make us greater at god's eyes.

I am not good making plans but as everyone I have dreams, now I am working really hard to made them true so I can see me finish my career and teaching, continuing my studies and working in personal projects, successfully. I also would like to travel and find someone nice to live with.
Conclusion
This is a little part of who I am, the things that I care and some experiences. I have so many things in my mind that if I start to tell you I never finish but as I said before I like to travel so probably I will not be in Chile for a long time after I finish my career.

I am Ariel Yáñez I was born on February 7th in Santiago, I am still living in Santiago with with my family in Maipú.
ResponderEliminarI live with my mother, father and two brothers else.
I am a student of Pedagogy in English, I am in my second year of my career I am so happy because I love the English and I like teaching.
When I was little I was always struck by the music and everything connected with it, such as musical instruments, singing etc. in fact, I was participating in an orchestra for a long time, I learned violin, viola, cello and other instruments. It was a very beautiful and unforgettable experience in my life because I know a different world within the orchestra, participating in contests and concerts all over Santiago, remember that in one occasion the orchestra won a festival and as a band, we were all members to give a concert at the Teatro Municipal of Santiago, was very exciting and thrilling at the same time because it was one of our big dreams we had as orchestra.
good, eventually learned that life sometimes we have different paths and during the time I had to take decisions that would be for a lifetime, it was there I decided to attend college. Thank God I got and I always received the support of my family, especially my parents, they always are when I need them for anything so thank God I have family.
For this reason I have always tried and I tried to do my best not to disappoint the support and trust that my parents have placed in me.
I've never had many expectations in my life and much less about my own future, always try to build my own future with every day, striving and giving my best to achieve my needs.
I was born on September 12th, in Santiago, the capital of Chile. I still live here with my family. We are friendly to each other. However, mostly of time we fight for silly things, that has not been a big problem, we love each other anyway.
ResponderEliminarMy name is Ismael Alejandro Núñez Donoso. I started school at the age of 4. When I was a child, I always stand out of the rest of the kids, because I have never been quiet. Despite of that I consider myself very intelligent; school was not a big deal for me, because I have been always a good student.
Nowadays, I study at the Autonoma University, the English teaching program; this is my first career, I want to be a teacher but not the one that gives lessons to children but at the university. I never thought that I would choose this career, because it is hard work, although something changed my mind. When I was in the last year of high school, I had a new English teacher; she was very good at teaching and encouraged me to study this.
Lately, I have been very interested in fitness life, I train three times a week at the gym, I do weightlifting, I like it so much, this changed my life a lot. This means that, I feel more confidence about myself.
About Life, that is a big concept, but for me it means have the best moments with the people you love, do all the things you can to get your own happiness, do the things you wish, make your dreams come true. Due to that I do everything I can to be happy, but not just myself, even for the people I love.
The future, is very promising to me, I’ll be a teacher, but not a simple one, with higher degree. I will be living with the person that I love, we will have plenty of money and travel around the world, after that, we will adopt a boy or a girl and be a happy family, the most special you ever seen.
To conclude, a happy life is when you make all your dreams come true, that is what I want for me in the future. Therefore, I’ll study hard to get my degree by the time I planned; I will be the best at everywhere I go.
Good Job.
ResponderEliminarI hope that this work had been like a catharsis and also an evaluation and projection for your lives.
