Architecturally Autobiographical

For roughly a month now, the Benjamin Franklin Tercentenary has been running a program called The Autobiography Project. The idea is that you write your own autobiography – or tell a story from your life – using no more than 300 words. Dozens and dozens of such stories have already been submitted, and you can read them all here.
Though much more information is available on the actual website, I thought I would encourage any architecturally-minded writers (or literary-minded architects) in the Philadelphia region to submit their own 300-word memoirs.
How did you become an architect, for instance – or a designer, or a critic, or an engineer? Have you traveled? Where did you go, when and why, and how did it affect your architectural interests? Etc. etc. Of course, you don't have to be an architect; you can write about beating up your little brother, or whatever else strikes you as significant. The point is simply to tell your story, and to tell it well.
Have fun – you only have about 48 hours left, however, so hurry.
