A life story essay involves telling the story of your life in a short, nonfiction format. It can also be called an autobiographical essay. In this essay, you will tell a factual story about some element of your life, perhaps for a college application or for a school assignment.

Preparing to Write Your Essay

Step 1 Determine the goal of your essay.

  • If you are writing a personal essay for a college application, it should serve to give the admissions committee a sense of who you are, beyond the basics of your application file. Your transcript, your letters of recommendation, and your resume will provide an overview of your work experience, interests, and academic record. Your essay allows you to make your application unique and individual to you, through your personal story. [2] X Research source
  • The essay will also show the admissions committee how well you can write and structure an essay. Your essay should show you can create a meaningful piece of writing that interests your reader, conveys a unique message, and flows well.
  • If you are writing a life story for a specific school assignment, such as in a composition course, ask your teacher about the assignment requirements.

Step 2 Make a timeline of your life.

  • Include important events, such as your birth, your childhood and upbringing, and your adolescence. If family member births, deaths, marriages, and other life moments are important to your story, write those down as well.
  • Focus on experiences that made a big impact on you and remain a strong memory. This may be a time where you learned an important life lesson, such as failing a test or watching someone else struggle and succeed, or where you felt an intense feeling or emotion, such as grief over someone’s death or joy over someone’s triumph.

Alicia Cook

  • Have you faced a challenge in your life that you overcame, such as family struggles, health issues, a learning disability, or demanding academics?
  • Do you have a story to tell about your cultural or ethnic background, or your family traditions?
  • Have you dealt with failure or life obstacles?
  • Do you have a unique passion or hobby?
  • Have you traveled outside of your community, to another country, city, or area? What did you take away from the experience and how will you carry what you learned into a college setting?

Step 4 Go over your resume.

  • Remind yourself of your accomplishments by going through your resume. Think about any awards or experiences you would like spotlight in your essay. For example, explaining the story behind your Honor Roll status in high school, or how you worked hard to receive an internship in a prestigious program.
  • Remember that your resume or C.V. is there to list off your accomplishments and awards, so your life story shouldn't just rehash them. Instead, use them as a jumping-off place to explain the process behind them, or what they reflect (or do not reflect) about you as a person.

Step 5 Read some good examples.

  • The New York Times publishes stellar examples of high school life story essays each year. You can read some of them on the NYT website. [8] X Research source

Writing Your Essay

Step 1 Structure your essay around a key experience or theme.

  • For example, you may look back at your time in foster care as a child or when you scored your first paying job. Consider how you handled these situations and any life lessons you learned from these lessons. Try to connect past experiences to who you are now, or who you aspire to be in the future.
  • Your time in foster care, for example, may have taught you resilience, perseverance and a sense of curiosity around how other families function and live. This could then tie into your application to a Journalism program, as the experience shows you have a persistent nature and a desire to investigate other people’s stories or experiences.

Step 2 Avoid familiar themes.

  • Certain life story essays have become cliche and familiar to admission committees. Avoid sports injuries stories, such as the time you injured your ankle in a game and had to find a way to persevere. You should also avoid using an overseas trip to a poor, foreign country as the basis for your self transformation. This is a familiar theme that many admission committees will consider cliche and not unique or authentic. [11] X Research source
  • Other common, cliche topics to avoid include vacations, "adversity" as an undeveloped theme, or the "journey". [12] X Research source

Step 3 Brainstorm your thesis...

  • Try to phrase your thesis in terms of a lesson learned. For example, “Although growing up in foster care in a troubled neighborhood was challenging and difficult, it taught me that I can be more than my upbringing or my background through hard work, perseverance, and education.”
  • You can also phrase your thesis in terms of lessons you have yet to learn, or seek to learn through the program you are applying for. For example, “Growing up surrounded by my mother’s traditional cooking and cultural habits that have been passed down through the generations of my family, I realized I wanted to discover and honor the traditions of other, ancient cultures with a career in archaeology.”
  • Both of these thesis statements are good because they tell your readers exactly what to expect in clear detail.

Step 4 Start with a hook.

  • An anecdote is a very short story that carries moral or symbolic weight. It can be a poetic or powerful way to start your essay and engage your reader right away. You may want to start directly with a retelling of a key past experience or the moment you realized a life lesson.
  • For example, you could start with a vivid memory, such as this from an essay that got its author into Harvard Business School: "I first considered applying to Berry College while dangling from a fifty-food Georgia pine tree, encouraging a high school classmate, literally, to make a leap of faith." [15] X Research source This opening line gives a vivid mental picture of what the author was doing at a specific, crucial moment in time and starts off the theme of "leaps of faith" that is carried through the rest of the essay.
  • Another great example clearly communicates the author's emotional state from the opening moments: "Through seven-year-old eyes I watched in terror as my mother grimaced in pain." This essay, by a prospective medical school student, goes on to tell about her experience being at her brother's birth and how it shaped her desire to become an OB/GYN. The opening line sets the scene and lets you know immediately what the author was feeling during this important experience. It also resists reader expectations, since it begins with pain but ends in the joy of her brother's birth.
  • Avoid using a quotation. This is an extremely cliche way to begin an essay and could put your reader off immediately. If you simply must use a quotation, avoid generic quotes like “Spread your wings and fly” or “There is no ‘I’ in ‘team’”. Choose a quotation that relates directly to your experience or the theme of your essay. This could be a quotation from a poem or piece of writing that speaks to you, moves you, or helped you during a rough time.

Step 5 Let your personality and voice come through.

  • Always use the first person in a personal essay. The essay should be coming from you and should tell the reader directly about your life experiences, with “I” statements.
  • For example, avoid something such as “I had a hard time growing up. I was in a bad situation.” You can expand this to be more distinct, but still carry a similar tone and voice. “When I was growing up in foster care, I had difficulties connecting with my foster parents and with my new neighborhood. At the time, I thought I was in a bad situation I would never be able to be free from.”

Step 6 Use vivid detail.

  • For example, consider this statement: "I am a good debater. I am highly motivated and have been a strong leader all through high school." This gives only the barest detail, and does not allow your reader any personal or unique information that will set you apart from the ten billion other essays she has to sift through.
  • In contrast, consider this one: "My mother says I'm loud. I say you have to speak up to be heard. As president of my high school's debate team for the past three years, I have learned to show courage even when my heart is pounding in my throat. I have learned to consider the views of people different than myself, and even to argue for them when I passionately disagree. I have learned to lead teams in approaching complicated issues. And, most importantly for a formerly shy young girl, I have found my voice." This example shows personality, uses parallel structure for impact, and gives concrete detail about what the author has learned from her life experience as a debater.

Step 7 Use the active voice.

  • An example of a passive sentence is: “The cake was eaten by the dog.” The subject (the dog) is not in the expected subject position (first) and is not "doing" the expected action. This is confusing and can often be unclear.
  • An example of an active sentence is: “The dog ate the cake.” The subject (the dog) is in the subject position (first), and is doing the expected action. This is much more clear for the reader and is a stronger sentence.

Step 8 Apply the Into, Through, and Beyond approach.

  • Lead the reader INTO your story with a powerful beginning, such as an anecdote or a quote.
  • Take the reader THROUGH your story with the context and key parts of your experience.
  • End with the BEYOND message about how the experience has affected who you are now and who you want to be in college and after college.

Editing Your Essay

Step 1 Put your first draft aside for a few days.

  • For example, a sentence like “I struggled during my first year of college, feeling overwhelmed by new experiences and new people” is not very strong because it states the obvious and does not distinguish you are unique or singular. Most people struggle and feel overwhelmed during their first year of college. Adjust sentences like this so they appear unique to you.
  • For example, consider this: “During my first year of college, I struggled with meeting deadlines and assignments. My previous home life was not very structured or strict, so I had to teach myself discipline and the value of deadlines.” This relates your struggle to something personal and explains how you learned from it.

Step 3 Proofread your essay.

  • It can be difficult to proofread your own work, so reach out to a teacher, a mentor, a family member, or a friend and ask them to read over your essay. They can act as first readers and respond to any proofreading errors, as well as the essay as a whole.

About This Article

A life story essay is an essay that tells the story of your life in a short, nonfiction format. Start by coming up with a thesis statement, which will help you structure your essay. For example, your thesis could be about the influence of your family's culture on your life or how you've grown from overcoming challenging circumstances. You can include important life events that link to your thesis, like jobs you’ve worked, friendships that have influenced you, or sports competitions you’ve won. Consider starting your essay with an anecdote that introduces your thesis. For instance, if you're writing about your family's culture, you could start by talking about the first festival you went to and how it inspired you. Finish by writing about how the experiences have affected you and who you want to be in the future. For more tips from our Education co-author, including how to edit your essay effectively, read on!

The Best Day of My Life Essay

The best day of my life is my 16th birthday. It is a day I will never forget in my life. I consider it till now my best birthday. All my relatives and friends were present at my birthday party. The best part of the party was my grandmother was present there. For the last time, she prepared all the food items I loved eating. It is even more special as it was the last day that I spent with her, after which she passed away. I spent the most time with her and she also enjoyed herself a lot with me for the last time in her life. This birthday is even more special as it was my last birthday with my grandmother.

The best day of my life was when I went on a school outing with my friends. We ate delicious food and enjoyed the day to the fullest.

I woke up at 6 am and got ready for school. My mother dropped me to school. From there we went to a science park by bus. During the entire journey we danced, sang, played games, and did many more fun activities. We ate snacks and played games with our teacher also. When we arrived we visited the science city and enjoyed every bit of it.

Besides the science park, it was a water park, so we quickly changed our clothes and jumped into the pool. We enjoyed ourselves in the pool, and we kept on playing for an hour. After that, we took a bath and changed clothes. We had rice and chicken for our lunch. We loved the food. After the food, we returned by bus. During the whole bus journey, we sang and danced.

This day is memorable as I could spend it with my friends. The day was a day to be remembered. We had so much fun together. Everything is worth remembering from the beginning to the end of the journey.

Life is full of events - both good and bad. Some things will be forgotten over time, and some will stay in your heart forever. Life is full of surprises and shocks, good and bad news, and unexpected turns. Fortune can benefit some people in life, and help them to reach the pinnacle of glory and happiness.

The Best Day of My Life

Recently I received the best gift from my dad. Since childhood, I always wanted a dog, and recently he had brought me one. I was studying in my room, dad entered my room with a labrador in his hands. I jumped from my bed with happiness. I also started crying as I could not believe my eyes. My mom and dad were always against having a dog. But he brought it, and made it the best day of my life.

Significance of My Best Day

I still remember myself bursting into tears and happiness at the same time. That night I held Bruno the whole time. The next moment I saw myself buying stuff for the dog. I bought food, clothes, toys, and many more things which would make him happy. That night I held him tight and slept beside him. I could not sleep the whole night due to the excitement.

I looked at him throughout the entire night with utmost happiness and surprise. That day was the best day of my life as I got my best friend. A best friend who would never leave me. A best friend who will always be there for me whenever I need him.A best friend who will make me the happiest. A friend who will love me to the fullest. That dog gave me the ultimate happiness and, this is how the day became the best day of my life. I named the dog Bruno.

I am always looking for him whenever I come back from school. He always jumps, licks me, and wags his tail after seeing me. My friends come along with me to play with him. Bruno also became their friend.

What I Love about My Dog

The thing that I love about Bruno the most is that he can gel well with people. My sister was not that comfortable with dogs. But Bruno made her fall in love with him. They are now the best of friends. He would jump in happiness whenever he saw him. She would also run toward him and would pick him up. She feeds him food and always brings toys and treats for him. She loves her to the fullest and, at the same time he loves her to the fullest. This is how Bruno became everyone's favourite.

Every person has some happy days and some bad days in their life. Both help people learn different things from these different experiences. But the happy days are worth remembering. They help you cheer on your days of sadness and bring back all the memories that are worth cherishing. The best day has a great impact on our life.

✍️ How to Write a 250 Word Essay

Writing 250 words is a task you can handle in an hour or even less. The difficulty is that this word count may end before you fully cover the topic. Therefore, it is essential to carefully choose the information you want to present in your essay and structure your writing appropriately. In the following paragraph, we will talk about it in more detail.

This image shows the 250-word essay structure.

What Does a 250 Word Essay Look Like?

For some 250-word texts (for example, a discussion board post), an introduction and a conclusion are unnecessary — you can immediately go to the point. But for an essay, the structure is standard:

  • Introduction (1 paragraph)
  • Main body (1-2 paragraphs)
  • Conclusion (1 paragraph)

We recommend you try our outline generator to create a 250-words essay example structure.

250-Word Essay Introduction

In a 250-word essay, the introduction should be about 50 words or a maximum of 3 sentences. It must indicate the paper’s topic and present a strong thesis statement. Also, it would be a good idea to start your introductory paragraph with an engaging hook to pique readers’ attention.

Try our hook generator , thesis generator , and research introduction maker to write a compelling introduction for your essay!

250-Word Essay Conclusion

In an essay of 250 words, the conclusion, like the introduction, should take about 50 words or 2-3 sentences. To finish your paper on a high note, paraphrase the thesis statement and add some sense of closure with the help of a closing sentence.

Our closing sentence generator is already waiting for you to assist with your last paragraph!

How Many Citations Should I Use in a 250 Word Passage?

In general, you should use 8-12 citations for 1000 words. According to this rule, a 250-word essay should include 2-3 references. However, it’s better to check your professors’ instructions to know for sure how many sources you should cite.

We recommend you try our citation generator to create a list of references quickly and correctly.

100 Words Essay on A Special Day in My Life

Introduction.

Everyone has a special day in their life. For me, it was the day I won the school science fair.

The Preparation

I spent weeks preparing my project, a model of the solar system. It was hard work, but I was determined to do my best.

The Day of the Fair

On the day of the fair, I was nervous. But when the judges came to my project, they seemed impressed.

The Announcement

Finally, the moment came. When they announced my name as the winner, I felt a rush of joy.

That day remains special because it taught me the value of hard work and determination.

250 Words Essay on A Special Day in My Life

The arrival of the unforeseen.

Life, in its essence, is a series of events that mold us into who we are. However, there are certain moments that leave an indelible imprint on our lives. One such day in my life was the day I discovered my passion for astronomy.

A Glimpse into the Cosmos

It was a normal summer day, the sun was shining and the birds were chirping. My parents had planned a family outing to the local planetarium. Little did I know, this ordinary day was about to transform into an extraordinary one.

The Revelation

As I stepped into the planetarium, I was awestruck. The vastness of the cosmos, the twinkling stars, and the swirling galaxies ignited a spark within me. I was fascinated by the mysteries of the universe and the enigma that it presented. I felt an overwhelming sense of curiosity and a desire to explore the unknown.

The Aftermath

This experience was a turning point in my life. It was not just about the grandeur of the cosmos but the realization of my passion. I started devouring books on astronomy, spending countless hours observing the night sky, and even started an astronomy club at my college.

This special day in my life was not marked by a grand event or celebration. Rather, it was the discovery of my passion, a moment of self-realization that would shape my academic and professional journey. This day taught me that life’s most significant moments often come unannounced, transforming our ordinary days into extraordinary ones.

500 Words Essay on A Special Day in My Life

Life is a beautiful journey, filled with a myriad of memorable moments. However, some days stand out, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts and minds. One such day in my life was when I received my acceptance letter for a summer internship at NASA – a day that reshaped my perspective on life, dreams, and perseverance.

Anticipation and Arrival of the Special Day

I had always been fascinated by the mysteries of the universe and dreamed of contributing to space exploration. The journey towards this dream was not smooth, filled with countless nights of studying, self-doubt, and rejections. The day when the acceptance letter arrived was like a beacon of hope, illuminating the path towards my aspirations.

I remember the day vividly. It was a typical Tuesday, and I was engrossed in my routine activities when I received the notification on my phone. The subject line read, “NASA Internship Program: Application Status.” My heart pounded as I opened the email, with a strange mix of anxiety and anticipation.

The Moment of Elation

As I read the first line, “Congratulations, you have been selected…”, a wave of euphoria washed over me. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated joy. The countless hours of hard work, the sacrifices, the relentless pursuit of my dream, everything seemed to have finally paid off. I was going to be a part of something bigger, something that could potentially change the course of human understanding of the universe.

Reflections and Realizations

This special day was not just about the acceptance; it was a testament to the power of dreams and determination. It made me realize that no goal is unattainable if one is willing to persevere. It also reinforced the importance of resilience in the face of setbacks. Each rejection I had faced in the past was a stepping stone that led me to this triumphant moment.

Impact and Future Aspirations

The acceptance marked a significant milestone in my life. It was not just an opportunity to learn from some of the brightest minds in the field, but it also brought me one step closer to my dream of contributing to space exploration. This special day instilled in me a newfound confidence and a sense of purpose. It was a reminder that dreams do come true, and it’s the journey that shapes us.

In conclusion, this special day was a turning point in my life. It was a day of celebration, reflection, and realization. It taught me that dreams are worth chasing, and perseverance can turn the seemingly impossible into reality.

The Happiest Day of My Life: A Memory to Treasure

The happiest day of my life began with a feeling of excitement in the air. It’s like the night before a big adventure. I woke up with a smile on my face, knowing that something special was about to happen.

A Surprise Awaits – The Unexpected Gift

Little did I know that this day was going to be extraordinary. It’s like finding a hidden treasure in an ordinary day. My family had planned a surprise trip to the zoo, a place I had always dreamed of visiting.

The Journey Begins – On the Road to Happiness

As we headed to the zoo, my heart was filled with anticipation. It’s like setting sail on a ship of wonder. I imagined all the amazing animals I would see and the adventures that awaited.

Meeting New Friends – The Animal Kingdom

The moment we entered the zoo, it was like stepping into a magical world. I saw lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!). It’s like meeting new friends who were part of an incredible animal kingdom. Their beauty and grace left me in awe.

A Picnic Surprise – Lunchtime Delight

My family had prepared a surprise picnic lunch. It’s like a feast fit for royalty. We enjoyed sandwiches, fruit, and my favorite chocolate chip cookies. Eating amidst the sounds of nature was a delightful experience.

The highlight of the day was meeting my favorite animal, the panda. It’s like a dream come true. I watched in awe as the panda chewed bamboo and played around. It felt like the panda and I shared a secret connection.

The Joy of Learning – Zoo Facts Galore

The zoo wasn’t just fun; it was educational too. It’s like a classroom in the great outdoors. I learned about conservation, animal habitats, and the importance of protecting our planet. It inspired me to care for our environment.

A Day of Bonding – Family Love

The happiest day of my life was also a day of bonding with my family. It’s like strengthening the ties that hold us together. We laughed, explored, and created memories that will forever be etched in our hearts.

The Sunset of Happiness – Heading Home

My Life Story In 250 Words Or Less

There is a list of topics for each day. The rules aren’t strict. You can skip around, go out of order, whatever you want. If you are a blogger and would like to participate, DO IT!

Today’s topic: Describe your life story in 250 words or less. Here we go:

I was born in Detroit, Michigan, September 27, 1984. I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit as an only child. I hated not having a sibling, as there was no one to shift the blame to when I did something wrong. My parents were strict, and I was, for the most part, a good kid (despite those few teenage years, ahem ).

I went away to college and I was in heaven.  I embraced the freedom to do whatever the hell I wanted (aka: skip class to drive three hours away for a free The Used concert). I finished up my college degree in Photojournalism with a summer internship at Martha Stewart Living’s Omnimedia and then moved back home to start “real life.”

I got a job at a photography studio, where I stayed for three years making shit money and having no benefits. But my evenings and weekends spent with my best friends are some of the best times I’ve ever had. It was a bittersweet day when I decided that although I was happy in MI, I was in need of something new. My move to CA shook me up at first and it was not the easiest transition.

But obviously I found the love of my life here, so that combined with the whole running my own business thing, well I’m not sure I’ve ever felt so content in life. It’s been almost 4 years in California, and I can’t imagine being anywhere else right now.

So there you go, a quick version of my life story. I thought for sure I went over 250 words but I used a handy word count tool thingy and it said 246. I did it! You should join in and link up for the Blog Everyday In May Challenge too! Tell me your life story.

Your birthday is four days after mine, but I’m an ’83 baby! Maybe we already established this, but my brain just isn’t working right now. 😉 I’m doing Jenni’s challenge too because I’ve felt like I’ve been in a total rut with blogging. I’m hoping that it will let me do what I love doing and just write! Definitely refreshing, I think! 🙂

love this! i had no idea you interned at MS Living – so cool!

SO jealous that you interned at MS Living! Good for you 🙂

yay for 1984 babies! and look at that, we are just a few days apart – woohoo!

love that picture of you and jordan. you guys are too cute. 🙂

Love it! I was looking for a May project so I’m playing along too! Guess what?! I went to Western Michigan University. So according to our colleges we were rivals, haha! Also I was born in Grosse Pointe (my parents are from St. Clair Shores) but we grew up in rural northern Michigan. I love that you’re from Michigan too! Yeah for home. I’ve got a trip home in May and June for weddings and I’m so excited to visit!

Haha, so you’re from Michigan and moved to California? I’m from California and moved to Michigan! Haaha 🙂 Awesome.

Enjoyed your 250 word story! Yay for the BlogEveryDayInMay challenge!

Ooh, we have the same birthday! (Though I was born two years before you) Nicely done, I like this life summary in 250 words, I may have to try it out myself 🙂

There’s something to be said about making shit money at a job but loving the rest of your life. My mom always calls it The Hunger Years, after a song I am unfamiliar with. The concept: When you’re young and broke, it’s the best times of your life.

I saw that SHIT photography studio and panicked that you were talking about ME!!!! Hope not!!! xoxoxox
