Any kind of diatribe on oneself I find irksome. It certainly bothers me and I struggled through mine, but as is said 'needs must' (I'm looking for meaningful employment). I find it uncomfortably indulgent to write about myself, and I tend to think of those who enjoy writing about themselves oftentimes vain and certainly questionable. Inside me, I am embarrassed when somebody tells me they've read mine. That said, I've tried to tell a quick tale in a succinct manner.  

I think it is OK to write an autobiography if you are Mark Twain and ninety; or Jean-Jacques Rousseau and pioneering, but our job-seeking stranger-impressing society requires that we do it, though much less adequately, too early and too often.

Thank you for reading my short story about myself.

My problem with it is; how have I helped others?  True, there are two people living today that credit me with saving their lives.  True, I have devoted a lot of time caring for others. But...when I write and read my story, it isn't enough.  This is the aspect of my life that I would like to work on.
