The list is provided to jog your memory about aspects of  your life that  you might wish to address.   Your video biography might open this way:   Hi, I’m Sue Smith I was born on April 1, 1933 in Hartford to Robert and Ann Smith. I had two brothers, Steve and Joe, and one sister, Carolyn.  I was the oldest.  The six of us lived in a two bedroom apartment till we moved into a house during World War II.   Perhaps you should start with your earliest memories of parents, grandparents, brothers/sisters.  Teen  years (schooling) chores, jobs.  Life long friendships, influential teachers.
