Writing About Myself

Writing about yourself is a great way to start expressing ideas. You are the expert on you! Three simple sentence starters can unlock lots of interesting things to say.

Starter 1 — I am …

• I am tells the reader what you are like — your age, feelings, or qualities.
• Example: I am seven years old.
• Example: I am a kind friend.

Starter 2 — I like …

• I like tells the reader what you enjoy or prefer.
• Example: I like to swim in the pool.
• Example: I like sunny days.

Starter 3 — I have …

• I have tells the reader what you own, possess, or belong to.
• Example: I have a big family.
• Example: I have a pet cat.

Keep the rules

• The word I is always a capital — even mid-sentence.
• Start with a capital, end with a period.
• Add one or two describing words to make sentences more interesting.
