Owen's Identity: I would identify myself as a hard worker who is creative, friendly, protective, and family oriented. I love making art with nature and my passion is basketball.

My parents have always made it a big deal to have no technology at the table when we eat family dinner. One time I wanted to watch a new episode of a show but my parents made me turn it off for dinner. We got into a screaming match and my mom started crying. Looking back on that memory now, I realize that she was sad because of how special family dinners were to her. Now, I never get on my phone when I'm eating with a lot of people because I realize how fun it can be when everyone unplugs and enjoys eachother's company.

This memory is very important to my autobiography memory because it taught me the importance of having conversations around the table, and how it brings everyone together. When I'm older, I am going to have the same rule with my family.

Ever since I was little my parents have always thrown parties on fridays. My parents were always so nice to everyone they met, and made so many friends. Those parties inspired me to be friendly to everyone that I meet because you can never have too many friends.

When I was 10, my parents went out for the night so I had to baby sit my little brother. This was my first time ever left alone to babysit him, so I didn't know what to expect. That night I was playing video games when I heard a loud crash followed by my little brother crying. I ran downstairs to see all the kitchen knives out and my brother with a deep cut on his arm laying on the floor. I quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped it tight around his arm and called my parents. I took care of him until my parents came home and brought him to the hospital. Ever since then, I am extremely protective over my family and especially my brother.

This experience was emotionally intense which is why it's a very important part of my autobiography memory.

When I was little, my parents took me to an Atlanta Hawks game and I got picked to go on the court while they were warming up. I had never shot a basketball before so I was struggling until Kyle Korver came up to me. He took the ball and told me "think about shooting, like you’re putting your hand in a cookie jar." I still use the advice he gave me when I play basketball today.

The advice kyle gave me encoded into my brain, so now every time I shoot a basketball, that is what my thought process is drawn to.

Procedural Memory:

When I was in middle school, I would often procrastinate and wait until the last minute to turn in work. In 8th grade, I waited until the last minute to turn in a major project and ended up not turning it in on time and failing the class, since I failed I had to stay back a year and couldn't see my friends anymore. I was devastated, but the lesson I took from it is to always be on top of work that I have and try my best, in all facets of life.

Because of this past experience, I make sure to always get work done as efficiently as possible. Now I am a harder worker and do assignments right when I get them.

Prospective Memory:

When I was little, I was fascinated with my grandpa's collection of wood carvings. One day brought me into his wood shop and taught me how to carve into wood to make designs. Me and my grandpa have made carvings together every summer since than and It has made me a very art minded- creative person.

The experience is the first time my grandpa taught me how to carve wood and it affected my life story because now it is an important hobby to me. This memory is also an example of nostalgia because I still feel happy when I carve, just like I did back then.
