Personal Autobiography
My name is Nan Wang and I am a male international student from China. My family has a strong commitment to educational diversity and the experience of travel and global education. For this reason I have traveled and studied internationally throughout my secondary and post-secondary education. This has offered me incredible insight into the values of diversity and the multitude of points-of-view that exist in the world today.
As a high school student I attended and excelled in school in Australia. The challenges of the region were many and I faced many personal cultural hardships as a result of being away from my extended family and my own nation. The opportunities clearly outweighed the hardships as I was able to travel many paths I would not have been able to travel if I had remained in China and learn many things that I would not have at home. Though I missed my extended family greatly there was a clear sense that I could develop friendships and relationships with others that although different represented the beginning of a chosen family. This chosen family began in Australia and extended the U.S. when I began relocated to Santa Monica College in California. I studied there for two years and then again relocated to complete three years of college at California State Northridge.
My five years of education at these two universities, as well as my education in Australia have exposed me to many varied international peoples and has further broadened my understanding of the diversity of language and culture. As a student I am clearly focused on group work as an essential element of success in education and demonstration of knowledge and this has been greatly influenced by my exposure to many cultures and friendships with many diverse individuals. Group work is also essential in business and I hope that my focuses as a business/finance major in group work success will aide me extensively in my career.
Within the development of my personal and educational life I was drawn to Finance as a professional and degree goal. I have extended this commitment by obtaining and succeeding in a job with an accounting firm where I did mainly the work of an apprentice, answering phones, data entry, and selling accounting books and DVDs for the continuing education accounting classes offered by the firm.
Autobiography X Malcolm X's autobiography provides poignant insight into the life of the man, but also offers insight into the historical and cultural context in which he wrote. Malcolm X delves into issues of race, class, gender, and power in the book, showing how these issues are interrelated in his personal life as well as in American society.

Autobiographies A memoir or autobiography can take on a myriad of different literary forms; for both Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway self-reflection is best achieved through the eyes of other people. The impact of Hemingway's A Moveable Feast and Stein's The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas is remarkable: the creation of autobiographical material that is neither narcissistic nor self-centered. The authors achieve their literary feats in part by writing in a
Autobiography I have heard it said that life beings at 40, and considering that I am near 40 and embarking on a new stage in my life, I can see how people have come to that conclusion, since 40 seems to be the age where people have that combination of wisdom, experience, and energy that makes embarking on new adventures exciting, rather than intimidating. For me, however, my current life began

When I was four years old, my family, which included three brothers and one sister, moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where I still live today, as well as the majority of my immediate family.

He seems excited at the prospect of marriage and children. I find such excitement perfectly bizarre. How can he even want children? Timothy came to the plantation at the same time I did. While I could sort of understand how his lady would want children -- she knew nothing else -- I cannot understand such a drive in him. May he just has more life left in him than I
That experience was different for my mother, who incorporated her religion into every aspect of her life. Fasting is a large part of the Orthodox Church, and it seemed to me that my mother was always engaged in some type of fast. As an adult, I realize that this was not merely the perception of a child; Orthodox Christians really do fast about half of the year, though the
