On which topic can I write an autobiography?

The word "autobiography" is composed of the following parts:


  • "auto," meaning "self"

  • "bio," meaning "life"

  • "graph(y)," meaning to draw or write

So, the meaning of autobiography is for someone to write a story about their own life. The only thing you can write a autobiography about is you! However, you may choose to focus on a particular theme or part of your life to build your story around. Has anything special happened to you in your lifetime? What struggles do you feel you have overcome? Do you have any special talents? What do you want people to know about your lifetime?


Making a timeline can be helpful to organize your thoughts and important places and events in your life. You may even like to include this timeline in your autobiography so that others can look at it.
