Brainstorm an important life event for your topic. it could be a single day where something important happened, or it could be an experience that lasted over your summer vacation. describe the subject you plan to develop in your memoir, including any details or aftereffects it might have.

here are some steps for brainstorming:

create a list of words or phrases that you can use in your memoir or an idea map that shows how different parts of the story are connected.
choose a perspective to maintain while writing the memoir. do you want to describe a topic in detail or simply mention certain aspects? do you want to celebrate something like a cherished memory or accomplishment or admit to a flaw in your reaction to something? or do you want to observe some part of daily life so closely that you find something surprising in it?
check that your subject will allow you to have something significant to say about it.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
