o Title page: title, name, and motto.
o Write a personal mission statement. A personal mission statement is a belief declaration, comment, or
affirmation of your plans. It answers questions such as; what is my purpose? What is my main goal?
How will I accomplish that goal? When do I plan to accomplish that goal? What is my current focus
towards that goal? What am I working on at this time? Who are you helping in life?
o Birth and appearance: details surrounding your birth.
o Family: who do you consider as your family (siblings, relatives). Describe each person and their
significance.
o Friends: how and when did you meet, what do you do together, and what things do you have in
common?
o Describe your values. Values are those things that really matter to each of us… The ideas and beliefs we
hold as special. Caring for others, for example, is a value; so is the freedom to express your opinions.
Where did your values come from? For example, did you get your values from your parents, political
figures, celebrities, or friends?
o What makes you who you are? This can be a multi-page essay that is part of your presentation if you
are a “writer”.
