My Life Story Worksheet

Plan and write a short life story in the first person. You can keep private details private: use a nickname, leave out dates or places, or write about a made-up version of yourself. Use specific moments, feelings and details to help a reader picture what happened.

Collect story clues

A life story is usually told in time order, but it focuses on meaningful moments rather than every event.

1.Choose one small moment you remember clearly. Jot down where you were, who was there (if anyone), what happened and one detail you remember seeing, hearing or feeling.
2.Put these life-story events in a sensible time order by numbering them 1–4: a future hope; a recent moment; an early memory; something learned along the way.
3.Which sentence gives a reader the clearest picture of a memory?
  • I had a good day.
  • One Saturday, rain tapped on the tent while my cousin and I played cards by torchlight.
  • I like weekends.
  • That was a long time ago.
4.A writer wants to describe learning to ride a bike. Which detail would best show the challenge and the eventual success?
  • Bikes have two wheels.
  • I wobbled, scraped my knee, tried again and finally pedalled to the gate without help.
  • I own a helmet.
  • Riding bikes is popular.
5.Complete this reflection with an idea of your own: “That experience taught me…”

Shape your life story

Use your notes to build a beginning, a meaningful middle and a thoughtful ending. You do not need to share anything you would rather keep private.

6.Write an opening sentence that introduces the kind of person you are or the sort of things you enjoy. Avoid sharing identifying details if you prefer not to.
7.Choose a moment that changed, challenged or taught you something. Write a short paragraph explaining what happened and how you felt at the time.
8.Add one sentence showing what you learned or how you changed because of that moment.
9.Write a closing sentence about something you hope to try, learn or achieve in the future. Keep it realistic or wonderfully ambitious.
10.Reread your story. Tick each feature you included: first-person words such as “I”; events in a clear order; at least one vivid detail; a reflection or lesson; a closing thought about the future.
