Writing an autobiography, while not strictly forbidden, is strongly discouraged because you have a conflict of interest that will make it difficult to maintain a neutral point of view. You'd have to make doubly sure that your draft complies with our notability guidelines, that the draft's claims are backed up by independent, reliable sources such as news coverage, and that it isn't unduly promotional. To be honest, I don't think a high school student working as a library aid will be notable enough for an encyclopedia article. How about improving our article on Farmington Senior High School (Missouri) instead? It currently doesn't cite any sources either, but surely you're in a position to find sources such as news coverage or maybe books on Farmington's history that would help.
