Chapter 1 Autobiography

It was a cold dark night, I’m in a Hummer H2 limousine and it’s just a few more miles away. I am about to receive the National Medal of Technology by President Tim Johnson. This is the moment when all my hard work has paid off. This is the time when people actually treat me as a person with respect. I was so confident that I was going to win that award. As the limo was driving, I noticed the driver was driving really hard and the car keeps on jumping. So I went to the front of the vehicle and as I opened the window I saw liquid all over the place. I was shocked and when I noticed the driver he looked so tired and he had hazy-bloodshot eyes. He was drunk. I told him to stop the car and that I would take the taxi to the award ceremony.

I learned many things in this project of creating our own Autobiographies. I now understand that there are many things in life that can change me in the future and I never realized how important my life could be. In this project, I enjoyed writing writing Chapter 7 because it gave me an opportunity of writing about my death and the steps I have to take to become who I want to be. I didn’t enjoy Chapter 6 because many people can’t write poetry and it was very hard for me to express my feelings when I had to develop my poems. I learned alot from creating my autobiography and I hope one day I could publish this so everybody can read about my life.
