What is an Autobiographical Essay?

Have you ever wanted to know everything about a person from birth to death? Have you ever wondering what it was that made the person who they were? Well, you get to just that......but about YOURSELF! While an autobiography tells the whole story from beginning to end, you are just in a chapter of your life, so I'd like to have you write an autobiography up till now, giving it memoir traits. Have FUN with this assignment as it is a way for you to reflect on who you are, where you have been, and step outside of yourself to teach a lesson. 

Your assignment: 

You've traveled through time and encounter a younger version of yourself.  What would you want that younger person to know about you today?

In order to meet the requirements of an Autobiography/Memoir, be sure to include the following while answering the prompt:
