Other ideas
There are tons of other topics you could cover in your autobiography, but you're not writing an entire book about yourself. Why not start by opening your word processor and typing in ideas that come to your mind? (If it helps, copy and past the list that appears here and use it to get you started.) Arrange the ideas in groups according to topic (like the topics listed above). Put all the information about sports together, all the information about your relatives together, and so on. You can do this by making lists or outlines in your word processor, or you can use a graphic organizing program such as Inspiration to help you.
If you get stuck and run out of ideas, ask your parents for some help. –And email your grandparents or other close relatives. As you know, grandparents and favorite aunts and uncles like nothing better than telling stories about you. They'll send you lots (probably more than you want to know) about what you don't remember abut yourself. Some of it will be great for your autobiography, but some you may not use...
