Today I’m going to talk about the benefits I could gain from creating my own autobiography. There are two main benefits I could gain: Writing experience (and therefore credibility) and a sort of time-capsule. That is all I could think of.
Writing experience is important because if I do decide to (go to college and/or) get a job in communications, then I can already have proof of my experience to show the employer, or I can have more practice composing actual literature instead of pointless school garbage.
The real reason I would be writing an autobiography (or at least the beginnings of one) is to have a record of all of my important memories. One thing that scares me the most, even as a teenager, is the fact that I’m going to forget things in the future. The only reason I would ever actually follow through and write an autobiography is for myself, so that I can remember all of the little details of my life that I might not in the future. The reason mentioned in the last paragraph is really only secondary to this one.
In short, there are two reasons I might write an autobiography in the future. One is to show employers that I know how to write, but the real reason I would do it is so that I can have a written record of all of the things that I think and feel at this point in my life.
