Do your grandkids a favour.

Remember to take some time from researching the past to build a biography of yourself and keep a copy on paper and digitally. This gives you a clear advantage : you can highlight things YOU want to be known for (and choose your favourite photos).  Its not about being important or doing important things. It will help others identify you in the future.

If you feel uncomfortable writing, a simple chronology works:

born where and when (stories told of the circumstances)
first home address (did you like it?)
first school
subsequent changes in address and schools
did your family go to church (etc) or did they send you to sunday school?
Military
Political
Social Clubs
Favourite activities and where (example: "I liked to go dancing at the F&F" : where was that/what was it like?)
Favourite media: newspapers, TV shows, fav films, actors, etc

Just remember to add a little detail - don't take it for granted that everyone will know what Aunt Geraldine's name(s) were, or what city it all happened in.

I will try to add my own example later... in the meantime a study in genetics
while I learn how to format these pages:
