There is a little part of me That wants the best for you Can't help but wish the best was me... I am
an open book despite my puzzled look... Coax me to confess, to all I never meant... You're free of
my burden But if you need me, I'll be here Always You say jump.... ...I say how high? You say
leave.... I say goodbye. The Beginning It is with a kind of fear that I begin to write the story of
my life. I have, as it were, a superstitious hesitation in lifting the veil that clings about my
childhood like a golden mist. The task of writing an autobiography is a difficult one. When I try to
classify my earliest impressions, I find that a fact and fancy look alike across the years that link the
past with the...show more content...
During the first few years of my life, I had caught glimpses of people,a luminous sky, trees,
flowers and my neighbourhood. If we have once seen, "the day is ours, and what the day has
shown." The Start of my Journey to the Outside World During the years that I grew up, things
gradually changed. I grew and learned more about my life, seeing the world in a whole new
perspective. My mother taught me everything that I know of. My hands felt every object,
communicated with other people and observed every motion, and in this way I learned to know
many things. A shake of the head meant "No" and a nod "Yes", a pull meant "Come" and a push
"Go". I also learned new words such as bread, ice cream and book. My mother, moreover,
succeeded in making me understand a great deal. I always knew when she wished me to bring her
something, and I would run upstairs or anywhere else she indicated. Many accidents of those
early years are fixed in my memory, isolated, but clear and distinct, making the sense of that silent,
aimless daily life more intense. One day, I was staying at my grandmother's house. We were eating
lunch at that time, rice and chicken adobo with a glass of Coca Cola, whilst eating, I accidentally
spilled my cup. To teach me a lesson, my grandmother didn't give any more servings of the soft
drink. At that time, the Coca Cola bottles were still made of glass. After we finished, she stood up
and went to wash the

2. My Autobiography Essay
My Autobiography "There is no one worth of worship except Allah, and Prophet Mohammed
(saw) is the messenger of Allah" My life goes by the above sentence. The firm belief in the
oneness of Allah, my Lord, who has provided me with this life; the giver and taker of life. I
believe that this life is only a test as to which we will be judged for in the life hereafter. I was born
on March 12, 1987at approximately 6:07am, at the Whittington Hospital in Archway, on a humid
spring morning, just before dawn. My two older sisters were also born in this hospital, and later,
after my auspicious birth, my four younger brothers and little sister were also born there. My
younger sister, Aaysha was...show more content...
Hundreds of children must have been born there and we all had something in common. I realised
that day, that I've probably seen many of these children, or adults, in my fourteen years of living.
They too, have probably seen me but none of us realised that we all had something in common. I
sat there for a long time, thinking about the beauty of life and how amazing the work of God is,
how a tiny human lives in its mother's stomach for nine months. As far as I know, there were no
complications to my birth. My mother was ecstatic as I was the first son after two daughters. My
family are a lot different from the other stereotypically cultural Asian families I know. Most Asian
families I know consider sons "better" than daughters and I am thankful that my own parents don't
have this warped mentality. However, after two daughters, I know my mother was secretly hoping
for a son this time, as raising a son was obviously something she had not yet experienced and it
would be undoubtedly refreshing. When my mother was pregnant with my brother Ismaeel, and I
was old enough to understand the process of it, I asked my mother if she wanted a boy or a girl.
She replied that she just wanted a healthy baby, and I knew that a baby's health was far more
important than its gender. I'm thankful to my mother for having this mentality as I believe that
parents' views are often inflicted on their

Running Head: MY CULTURAL
My Cultural Autobiography
Nancy Domanski
Sir Frances Bacon said, "If a man be gracious to strangers, it shows that he is a citizen of the
world, and his heart is no island cut off from other islands, but a continent that joins them,"
(Jenkins, 1994). This quote represents all the core values that I cherish and to which I adhere.
Personal culture doesn't have to be linked to a certain country of origin or a specific ethnicity; it can
be as simple as a person's core values. The Southern way of life is a culture all in itself. Growing up
south of the Mason–Dixon Line in the United States has instilled in me many values including
honesty, integrity and a genuine concern for my fellow man. Most...show more content...
I think it is because of how different the food is and how many choices are available. I am proud that
I have continued this tradition with my children for many reasons, but manly because it opens their
minds to new people and cultures. I think this tradition that my mother started was pretty
progressive for her time. She never seemed to be restrained by the typical female roles of most
women of her time. She somehow managed to remain true to her southern traditions while
blending them into a progressive way of thinking. I think I am the same, in that I am trying to
teach my daughter respect for others, especially her elders, while making sure her own thoughts
are valued as well. My brother, Mike, recently reminded me of another very strong southern value
that I too feel passionate about when he said, "Don't ask me for a handout, but I am always willing
to give you a hand up." By this is meant, southerners are always willing to help someone better
themselves or their situation. If they are hungry, feed them and show them how to feed themselves.
If they need a job, teach them the skills needed to find a job–not give them money. To us, throwing
money at a situation is not helping. It is demeaning to the receiver and it will most likely
encourage the problem. More simply put, if you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. If you teach
a man to fish, he will feed himself forever.

Autobiography
It was a normal afternoon and I was on the bus coming home from school. Steph, my sister, would
have been with me but today she was at a friend's house.
Sat daydreaming I suddenly realised that the next stop was mine. I got up and walked down the bus.
Stood next to the bus driver, I held on as the bus pulled round the corner and into the stop.
I thanked the driver and started walking down the road towards my house. Then I heard someone
shout my name. I turned around and saw that it was Chris, my then boyfriend.
He was supposed to be at work but they had, had a power cut at the garage he worked at. We walked
to my house. When we got in we got a drink and went up stairs....show more content...
Then he grabbed me, and shook me. I looked down at my arms. They where all covered in blood.
It was strange because I didn't panic. I just thought 'lets deal with this problem!' I went to the
kitchen sink and started to run the cold water over my arms. The water just kept running red so I
decided to stop.
I had been wearing a jumper tied around my waist and a large piece of glass had wedged itself
between the jumper and my top. As I pulled it out Chris looked like he was going to pass out. It had
looked like I had pulled it out of my back!
I went and got the phone to call my mum at work. As I dialled the number my hands where
shaking. The phone seemed to ring for what felt like an eternity. Then finally a voice came on the
line. 'Hello, Rossmore Leisure Centre'. My voice seemed to seize up. 'Um, um please can I speak to
Mel Steele?'
My mum came on the phone and I explained what had happened. She told me to stay calm and that
she would be home in five minutes. She also said to wait out the front of the house ready.
So Chris and me went out side and when I saw my mum's car coming down the road it all hit me
and I started crying. Chris started hugging me and telling me that everything would be ok.
We got in the car and drove to the hospital.
When we arrived we had to sign in and a receptionist keep asking lots of questions. One of them was
'What's the problem?'
