Journal One

If I was to tell my life story to someone, I would tell it to someone I could help improve their own life by sharing my experiences.  So, naturally the first requirement would be someone who has not experienced some of the major events that I have, someone younger than me.  It would also have to be someone I could trust so that I could include as many things as possible in my story keeping it as accurate as possible, probably someone who I do not know well or meet in passing.  Ideally, this would be someone who is of the age of 12-15 so they could comprehend what I was saying more efficiently.  

There are a couple places where I could start my story, but I would probably start it from the event that most changed my life, the death of my father.  When my dad died, my life changed drastically (although a description of the change this made to my life is incomplete, as it continues to alter it to this day).  One immediate change it made was a early maturing, which for a 12 year old can be very uncommon.  I'd also say this had a large impact because it has lead to me becoming somewhat conscientiously emotionally hardened.  I also was forced to comprehend one of life's biggest mysteries and tragedies at the same time, and that is an unusual thing I could express personal views on through my story.
