Consider the overall arc of your life. Are you someone who started from humble beginnings and reached great heights? Then 'From rags, now to some riches' could be a start.

One example is 'Angela's Ashes' by Frank McCourt. It reads like a novel with its vivid descriptions and engaging storytelling, yet it's a memoir of his difficult childhood.

If the story is about a friendship, the sentences about their interactions are jumbled, and you put them in order. And then there's the 'word ladder' game. If the story has a theme of growth, you change one word to another in steps (like 'begin' to 'end' through related words), which is related to the story's progression.
