Is this weird??

So this is my assignment (Read the whole thing pls) 

Your Memoir

Write a short memoir (400-500 words) about an important time in your life. You may write more than 500 words if you like. This assignment is submitted to DROPBOX, on the tool bar at the top. This is a confidential assignment.

Any moment will do. Think of a time or an event that’s unusually vivid in your memory: your first day at summer camp, an academic graduation, your first day on the job or at college or university, an athletic contest, the birth of a child, a moment of humiliation or pride or profound sadness.

Do some preliminary thinking about your memoir. Think of the city or town where you lived as a child. To nudge your memory, generate a list of names associated with that place, such as street names, geographical features: rivers, meadows, farms, parks. Include the names of stores, restaurants, public buildings. 

Generate as much detail as you can. You could pick an important time in your youth.  Think about the house, your bedroom and your family of that time.  Think about the school you went to: picture the school yard, the classrooms: what they looked like, what they smelled like and what they sounded like.

After you’ve done some thinking about a significant place where you grew up, see if you have any memorabilia from that time: letters, postcards, photographs, yearbooks, ticket stubs.

Talk to people who have a perspective on this important moment: family members, friends, for example.

In your writing, aim to "show" not just "tell" to give the reader a clear idea of your important moment. Use sensory and figurative language to add emphasis and strength to your writing.

 

Is it weird or wrong if I write about my first computer built?? because i know i will be able to write that thing with no problems and completely geek out on it.

 

Thanks

What about it?

[nixproducer]

I do not think that it would depending on what class this is for ( i am guessing English )

[flibberdipper]

Just do it...

No not weird, it is a good memory you have. And it is confidential so whoever you are turning this into won't think you are weird

[ilikemacandpc]

A moment that you remember vividly....

 

Embellish your paper. 

 

"The glistening freshly built computer smelled of sweat and blood..."

It's hardly weird. But I'd write about something more eventful if there is one.

[Mecami]

Well too many sad people in this world would find this weird and laugh I guess.

 

Edit: Didn't read the "confidential" part, sorry. Yeah just go for it then.

Didn't think of that. Used to my school.
