♠ Autobiography_Sample 2 ♦

I am Tao. My English name is Angela. I am 17 years old. I am from Taipei First Girls' High School. I come from a well-to-do family. My mother passed away when I was in my first junior high year. My father is a computer engineer and remarried three years ago. My stepmother is an elementary school teacher. So I have a sweet stepbrother, who is now in the sixth grade. My grandparents live with us as well. My family get along pretty well.
       
Throughout my school years, my academic results have always been pretty good, except in the second half of the first year and the first half of the second year. It is because my mother's death was such a trauma to me. It took me more than a year to get better. My father was afraid that I would turn bad after that. So he encouraged me to join many extra-curricular activities. He sent me to piano class, ballet class and art class.

   
His purpose was that through music and art, I would find a way to release my pain so that my heart would be comforted. I am very grateful to my father's caring and thoughtful consideration. Ever since then, music is my spiritual guide and gradually becomes my most intimate companion. I then practice the piano very hard and make up my mind to become a pianist.

   
In my high school years, I have taken any chance to participate in school activities. I join the choir and jazz club, both clubs offering plenty of contests and performances for many occasions. We have won many contests and had been invited by the Mayor to perform in City Hall. I am also the member of art club, for I enjoy sketching and painting very much.

   
Every time when I have chance, I would go to the music theater to listen to symphony and orchestra performances. There is not once I would not be moved by the music. I really admire those musicians' talent, passion and dedication to music. I wish one day I would be able to become one of them, performing on the stage and touring around the world. That's my passion and expectation to myself. I hope you would give me a chance to fulfill it.

♠ Autobiography_Sample 1 ♦

My name is Wei Wei Chang, who is 18 years old and was born in I-Lan.  There are seven members in my family.  My grandparents who are so kind teach me a lot of things about our traditional customs in Taiwan .  I think that is very interesting and remarkable for every citizen of Taiwan .  When I was a child my parents aimed at the development of my personality.  My father is a simple and down-to-earth person.  My mother has a mild character, who is also a good housewife.  My older sister is a beautician, and my younger brother is a junior middle school student.  I was grown up in such a fabulous atmosphere; therefore, I have a positive point of view about everything.

      I am studying in St. Mary’s School of Nursing which is a vocational high school in I-Lan.  I have been studying for nursing since three years ago.  In my first grade, I attended to English oral competition and got the third place.  Besides, I still took this competition the next year and got the same result, the third.  One thing I want to mention is I joined the special club, which is an organization to help and concern the elder in a community.  That was also a wonderful and unforgetful experience in my high school life.

      I have a lot of different hobbies, for example, I joined English Conversation Club, Guitar Club, and POP Club.  They are all my favorite activities which helped me gain so many skills from this kind of learning.  For instance, how to create a beautiful poster, how Americans use their daily life slang, and how to play an instrument of guitar to my unhappy crying friends, etc.

      In my free time, I like reading, playing basketball, go shopping with friends, or cooking with my mother.  When we have a holiday, I like to go traveling with my lovely family best.  Listening to music is also the way I relax myself.  By the way, when I feel blue, I prefer talking to my mother or friends to get their opinion.

      My strength is I am kind of considerate person.  The reason I describe myself this way is because of my future career, a nurse.  In my mind, a nurse should help the sick without complaint.  However, this is a long way to go, and I will try my best to achieve this goal.  In the future, I hope I can contribute all I have learned to the people who need.  Of course, I still desire to learn more from the other task which I might face hereafter.  To make my dream come true, I will try my best to work harder; thus, I believe that I will possess these professional abilities to perform my dream step by step smoothly.
