Download or read book In My Life written by Opiew O. Cham and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-10-13 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that I write my memoirs came to me when I had barely begun to live in Kaufman, Texas, and continued all through the years. But I never paid heed to the plan. I was living my life intensely—what need to write about it? Another reason for my reluctance was the conviction I entertained that one should write about one’s life only when one had ceased to stand in the very torrent of it. “When one has reached a good philosophic age,” I used to tell my friends, “capable of viewing the tragedies and comedies of life impersonally and detachedly—particularly one’s own life—one is likely to create an autobiography worthwhile.” Still feeling adolescently young in spite of advancing years, I did not consider myself competent to undertake such a task. Moreover, I always lacked the necessary leisure for concentrated writing. I discovered, much to my discomfiture, that old age, far from ripening wisdom and mellowness, is too often fraught with senility, narrowness, and petty rancor. I would not risk such a calamity, and I began to think seriously about writing my life biography. I am a very nostalgic person. As long as I can remember, I have enjoyed thinking about the past, and how it melded into the present, especially in reference to my own life and my own family history. This life story is about over all my life in Africa and United States of America. I had included the stories about my parents, relatives, what life was like for them, and what they were doing when they were alive. I like looking at old pictures and other mementos that help bring some of that past back to life or just evoke the spirit of the memories. This story is about my childhood life I had in Ethiopia, refugee camp, and United States of America, and my family as seen through my eyes. It is my snapshot, my memories to share with the world. Now, I do not know why anyone would be interested in my life, but I hope a few people, especially family, will find it interesting, and, to help keep it interesting, I promise to keep chapters and stories short, concise, and to the point. After all, nothing is more boring than someone’s tedious diatribe about something so entirely mundane. If you get to that point, just skip to another story, and just try to find something interesting, and of value to you. If you still can’t find anything of value in the reading, then I apologize, but still thank you for trying. As for me, I believed I had more fun writing this than anyone would ever have reading it.
