ABSTRACT

If someone asked you to tell the story of your life, and you agreed, how would you tell that story?

Obviously you can’t tell everything. In fact, you probably can’t remember everything. If you’re like most people, the chances are you cannot remember more than a few days or events from the earlier years of your life. Perhaps those days are the ones remembered because they were really the most important-the day a brother or sister was born, a key birthday, an honor at school-or perhaps just because they were representative, highly typical of what it was like to be a third grader.
