Write a thesis statement for your autobiography. A thesis statement is the main point of your essay. It tells the reader what your essay will be about. An example of a good thesis might be: "My life is unique because I was raised on a goat farm". Your thesis should be one idea that will shape your entire paper.
Create an outline for your essay. It should include your thesis statement, which is usually the first sentence of your introduction, a paragraph for each main point you will be making, and a conclusion.
Describe yourself in your introduction. In this part of your autobiography, share facts about you, your family, your achievements, and your interests. Include where you grew up, where your family is from, and when you were born.
Write about what your life means to you and why in the body of your essay. The basic facts about you, along with how you've lived your life up until this point have shaped who you are and what you get out of life.
Use concrete examples to illustrate events in your life that have affected you, changed you and made you who you are today.
Use description words that paint a picture of your life for the reader.
End your autobiography with a conclusion that relates back to your thesis. You may want to write about how your life up until now will affect your future. Include any goals or dreams for your future.
Proofread your essay. Read it out loud or record it and play it back, so that you can be sure it flows when read, and that you haven't made any mistakes.
Fix any spelling and grammar mistakes. Reword awkward sentences and paragraphs.
Have a friend or family member proofread your essay. Fix any mistakes they find that you may have missed.
Type your final autobiography and print it out on white paper to send it to schools that you are applying to.
